Today news.com.au actually had an interesting news article!
It was reported that home invaders had stolen vehicles in Melbourne and that
"Upon entering the street, they used technology to interfere with the wireless CCTV cameras at several properties, including Mr Bastoni’s, before creeping through the front door and taking what they came for — not one but two of his cars, including a luxury white Mercedes-Benz"
or as Mr Bastoni himself preferred to put it -
"If you’ve just got WiFi cameras, these c**** have a WiFi jammer and it jams everyone’s WiFi"
While the practise of wifi jamming to disable Ring, Nest, Eufy, Arlo and many other Wi-Fi cameras is nothing new and has been widely reported in the United States, a reported incident of this is actually new in Australia.
Regardless of the accuracy of the article, the undeniable truth is that anybody can easily and cheaply purchase everything needed to jam WiFi signals from online sources.
This should serve as a reminder to everyone that WiFi Cameras, while fine to use for things like monitoring the dog while you're at work, are likely NOT a deterrent to criminals.
If you're purpose is reliable security and deterrence then WiFi cameras will never replace professional, wired, local-recording camera systems
