Easiest way to avoid this bullshit is to install wired cameras, and such a way that they are not easy to access/cut.
I know someones gonna come in and be all "BUHBUHBUT YOU CAN JUST DESTROY THE CAMERAS" and yeah, thats true.
but you cant destroy the camera from 3 blocks over, you have to get right up on them, and your face/vehicle/other helpful information may just well be caught and recorded before you do. Unlike wifi jamming, which could be done from streets away.
Wireless cameras and "smart" doorbells shouldn't even be seen as security devices to begin with. They're for verifying your Amazon delivery and checking on the dog and nothing more.
Exactly, this is only an issue for me if my cat manages to build a wifi jammer. Though that is a possibility.
