Tech expert warns of device that disables Wi-Fi cameras

[@Darkk6969]

This is why wired security devices are recommended over wifi. Also, use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cabling. It's very hard to jam a wired connection but using a shielded cable makes it even harder. Pro tip: Make sure the cameras very difficult to reach as thieves can use black spray to hide their activities.

[@bloodlove93]

last parts potentially hardest, only 2plus story houses can realistically do that reliability, and essentially impossible for most areas of apartments and complexes(assuming you could even get mounting permission), so good idea but take average height plus raised arm plus possibly jumping up plus the reach of the spray itself... how many areas you got at least 10-13 feet above ground that aren't the actual gutter or roof? that's minimum height, assuming no ladder or tall people, people boosting each other up etc.

I can destroy those cameras with IR lasers from temu. You cannot protect from all wavelengths so yeah nothing is immune to destruction or interference.

[@jonathantheyorkie]

@@Darkk6969 But shielded ethernet is very expensive compared to unshielded. For a lot of home applications it's not worth it

[@bloodlove93]

I'm willing to bet that has its own weakness, only an absolute fool would delude themselves into thinking anything is perfect and flawless, just because everything doesn't share the same weaknesses doesn't mean anything is without their very own fail points. even security experts recommend when getting security services for homes etc,buy one companies service and another companies tags and stickers, ergo advertising a weakness you don't actually have, thus even if they know all methods they must try and keep guessing to find the actual weakness and thus company.

[@siral2000]

Yeah, I made sure my doorbell camera used a SD card. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good one at the time that I could stream to a security camera system using open standards. (So I could record it 24/7 like my other POE cameras.)

[@pqsk]

@@bloodlove93 nobody said this is the final solution. This is just *a solution* for those who want wireless without having to setup wires. Pros and cons for all solutions. This setup we have uses solar and we have plenty of sun all year long so at night the camera is fully charged. YMMV because not all places have this luxury. In both scenarios (wireless/wired some one can just remove the camera or break it. So goes back to every solution has its pros and cons. So depends on the setup. Some people who rent may not even be allowed to work with wires if it means violating lease constraints

It's definitely better than a wi-fi camera.. BUT it's not the best option. Ideally you should have cameras wired to a secure location in the house where the recording is obtained. It's pretty easy to jam a wifi signal, but it's even easier to just take the camera or the SD card. A lot of the cameras on the market these days use power-over-ethernet, so you don't even need to run power to the cameras, just CAT5/6 ethernet.

Some Wi-Fi cameras have SD card slots where it'll store the data locally so even if the Wi-Fi signal is broken because of a jammer it will still record locally

[@charliegonzalez3610]

Okay and if that WiFi cam gets stolen? I'd recommend multiple cams. Even hidden cams. All able to save locally onto memory card. No criminal is going to waste time wandering around searching for and taking all cams. That's the solution.

[@robtriton]

Wrong. This is my expertise professionally. These jammers confuse devices by overloading wireless traffic so that real traffic (the video feed) cannon get through. Then, with no functioning camera, the criminals burglarized homes essentially unseen. Most entry-level cameras - 99.9% in my estimation - are susceptible to this hack. The beauty of IP cameras is their simplicity, but, in this instance, it’s also their weakness. They don’t have an analog backup or secondary transmission option. If the Wi-Fi signal is blocked, then the camera is useless. Hardwired cameras connected to a very good UPS [uninterrupted batter supply] is the key. That way if the power is knocked out, the cameras are still functioning.

[@tboneforreal]

Even then that only helps you after the fact to see what happened. You won't get any alerts during the crime that the camera has been activated while it's being jammed. The criminals are long gone before you know what's going on.

[@GuretoSefirosu]

I have been installing security camera systems in commercial and residential situations. We never sold wireless. Aside from easily being jammed, they have low framerate and randomly go in and out on their own. My thing is, if you have to run a power wire, why not just run an Ethernet wire instead and use a PoE camera? Either way you're mounting the camera and running the wire, but with a PoE setup you get high framerates, clearer images, and it cannot be jammed. Also, this reporter is living in the 60's. Can't believe something like this exists? I was jamming 900MHz cordless phones with an electronic kit bought at Radio Shack before I was a teen. Jammers have existed since RF existed. Licensed ham now, and play on a wide array of frequencies. No way in heck I'd use a wireless anything if it was mission-critical!

[@pqsk]

But what about when the power goes off? I know wireless has its flaws, but if you buy one with an SD card and a solar panel, you at least get recording if the power goes out or there's a jammer.

[@GuretoSefirosu]

@@pqsk Who installs a security camera system without a UPS with AVR? A tiny battery can run those cameras for hours. On top of that, the crimes being shown are at night. Solar is useless at night when 99% of crimes like this occur, so it is a moot point.

[@pqsk]

@ well it was a question with 1 solution. It’s good to know about ups lasting that long. Last time I bought one for my parents years ago. I just remember the battery was just enough for when the power goes off to save and shut down. And to answer you, this battery actually lasts all night on a full charge. It actually lasts over a day when going on just the battery.

[@pqsk]

@@GuretoSefirosu ah I just also realized that solar depends on where you live. Here we have literal summer all year long, but of course in some parts of the world solar isn’t the best due to that.

[@jackkraken3888]

Make sure whenever you buy a WiFi or any other security camera that it has the option to record the video if the network is down. Usually there is a waterproof slot for a microSD card for this exact purpose. The problem it seems here is that the owners were relying on cameras that only stream the video that is recorded to a separate device or in the cloud and if the connection goes down you have no recording.

[@siral2000]

Yup, never understood why people trusted those things.

[@tboneforreal]

It's still pointless. Ok, you got video after the fact of a guy wearing a hoodie and mask. What are the police supposed to do with that? The alert when the camera is activated is really the only useful feature of these cameras and that is completely nullified by the jammer.

[@jackkraken3888]

@tboneforreal maybe the criminal wasn't hiding his face, maybe you can see the car they used or some other clue.

[@siral2000]

@@tboneforreal That's why wired cameras are always the best. Wifi cameras should be reserved for situations where a wired camera isn't feasible for some reason. Last time I checked a couple years ago, most doorbell cameras were either wireless or they were basically just intercoms. ( I'd begrudgingly got one, but ran conduit at the same time, so I could swap it when something better came out.) Another situation where wireless cameras are feasible to be used is when placed on a adjacent building that has power but doesn't have a way to run data wires. Wireless has its place in home security. It's just not a primary one.

[@wfb_sage]

Smashing the camera, spray painting the camera lens, stealing the camera works for thief's. Hiding, camouflaging, or making the camera less noticeable is simple common sense. Many inexpensive cameras record to an SD card 24/7/365. That's the kind I have. A Wi-Fi jammer will prevent notification, but the video is recorded. My camera recorded my neighbors car. I gave the video to the police... not sure if it helped them catch the catalytic converter thief.

Because they did not go into details, let me explain the problem. The most common jammer sends reset packets to the router not the camera. This causes the camera and every other device using WPA2 to not connect to the internet. Amazon and Google can’t fix this problem without rolling out camera hardware that supports WPA3 which means everyone needs to replace their cameras. Solutions to this problem include using a wired camera system or using a multi-node mesh router system and spreading them far enough apart to prevent the low powered jammer from reaching the farther routers.

[@91wheelz]

Question: if the camera is hard wired into a car or doorbell etc, will this WiFi jammer affect those cameras even if the camera has WiFi capability or it's own data plan?

[@siral2000]

Depends on how it's designed. Some cameras, like talked about here, stream the video to somewhere else in real time. There is little to no storage space to buffer the video for interruptions. Other slightly better wireless cameras have SD card slots in them that stores the video data which should be unaffected by a WiFi jammer for the most part. The camera can still be stolen along with the SD card, and your video goes with it if it's been jammed during the process though. The best security cameras use wired connections. Edit: The jammer just stops communication it doesn't keep it from working in other ways. The video is still being processed it's just not able to do anything with it before it runs out of onboard storage and purges it for new video.
