This guy walked past by my apartment door, but he didn’t show up on my ring camera. While it showed me walking out and then walking in. Had to google how this was possible and came up in this video.
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
I am sure its a put off to most casual thieves .You can see i have a ring doorbell from quite a long walk up to my front door. I had a guy obviously gave that a miss and walked round the corner down my drive at rear of the house ,( on full view of neighbours) he tried my back gate ( locked ) then realised my neighbour was watching him so he legged it .

I think a lot of people here for the beep, but there's a lot of times I have not heard the beep and just seen my car lights go on and figured it was locked. The best thing to do is not hold anything expensive in your car
I notice a lot of security companies that sell wired systems come out against video doorbells and floodlights. The flaw in this example, the criminal isn't starting from right at the door. The criminal works have to approach your house and get really close to your camera to use a hammer successfully. By that time, all or one of my video doorbell, video floodlights over the garage, on the sides of my home and on my back patio would have alerted me to someone on the property. Nest doorbell also sends you the last image right before it goes out.
Yes, such a jammer can be used to render a Ring doorbell useless, but any potential burglar carrying this device would surely be guilty of 'going equipped' in the (admittedly unlikely these days) event they are stopped by plod.
Yeah that's true, but having a screwdriver can be "going equipped". If you have coins on you and you've placed them in between your fingers then you could theoretically be charged with being in possession of an offensive weapon. So the law on going equipped is definitely murky and I completely agree you're likely to get that charge used against you if you're found with this device, but people overlook the fact that people with these are engaged in criminality... Having a jammer is often the least of their worries. Also, at least in the UK, the offence isn't having the device, it's using it 🙂
Is anybody reading or noticing the level of professionalism and respect in general this guy making the video is displaying in his responses to the people leaving uncalled for comments? We could all learn a thing or two on that let alone the useful video. Thanks man great clear precise video and excellent job. The background noise I assumed had something to do with the jammer somehow lol but u explained that to another commenter. Angela doe or whoever is obviously a mental victim. Pay no attention.

Very interesting video I've known about the ability to block wireless transmission but never seen how it's done. I wonder how other wireless devices such as alarms handle a jammer as I've heard the alarm goes off if it doesn't detect any wireless signals from other devices but does that actually work. This begs the question why isn't there a wired ring doorcam or a SD card slot that stores all the recordings and then uploads to the cloud when a connection is re-established.
US- Federal law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any type of jamming equipment that interferes with authorized radio communications, including cellular and Personal Communication Services (PCS), police radar, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). In other words, you have a 300 dollar device that, on a black market, is around 600 or more. Also signal jammers don't stop just a targeted. They have a range affact which can cause some alarm.
It is not a security device, it is a convenience and surveillance device, criminals much more rather use your windows to get in your house and not from street side, but from inside of your yard.
We ditched our Ring Doorbell when the subscription went up. We’ve moved over to a wired Reolink unit. So far been absolutely flawless paired with a Reolink Home Hub Pro, and other wired Reolink CCTV cameras. Reasonably priced cameras. With decent reliability.
That's the trouble now, people don't have a clue about the jammers and remote control fobs out there, I mess about with electronics as a hobby, people don't know that there yale alarm advertising on the front of there house is mostly wireless, you can grab, jam , do what you like with the alarm, night vision cameras, you can jam them or connect a light into a hat and at night walk down your high street and any night vision camera looking at you thay will only see a ball of light but that's not illegal and not to see you face. The man showing you a jammer, this one would be expensive, but you can buy them connect to a iphone for little money and get and do the same thing, good video and listen to this man showing the public this and how easy these jammers can take and cripple signals, 👍👏👏
They sure don’t and it’s sad that there’s videos showing them how to get pass the ring they set an old lady door on fire with her ring on the door it didn’t even show them doing it I would have sued the hell out of ring
2 burglars got caught in our street a few nights ago, they definitely didn't have one of these things, as they got caught by every single Ring doorbell on the estate as rhey were trying all the car doors. Currently on bail awaiting trial!! 😂🙈
Most burglars are opportunistic and most are only on either drink or drugs or both , they don't run around with these unless they're pros and pros only go for big hits such as footballers etc
Great video Will the jammer block wireless cameras that are from professional alarm companies? Our home security company says they’re military security grade and cannot be altered but now I wonder…
Thanks for the comment. In short, any wireless infrastructure can be jammed. Some will be harder with handheld jammers such as these, but even Police / Military systems are susceptible to jamming. The main thing to look for is something with jamming detection, which not many places use as it relies on a constant connection or "ping of life". When that connection drops, or the ping stops in the event of jamming, they can detect the comms being lost. The best option is always wired, if possible.
who the would buy a 2 grand signal jammer to rob houses ??? not the local smack heads who do 80% of home robbery's. they would rather steal the bloody ring door bell, buy a tail camera security box and a good padlock for it, the ring fits in it quite well.
Not sure why ring doesn't do an on the device storage so it can save the video there and then upload it to the cloud. I didn't think about this when I bought the doorbell but now realized you need a good wireless connection with the doorbell. Now I'm dealing with how to get a better video as mine is all grainy.
Can Z wave, Zigbee, Thread, Wifi and Bluetooth home security devices be jammed with the similar devices? If you have to choose among those signals which one is your first pick?
Good question. In short, all of them can be jammed, but I'd select ZWave if I had to pick one. The best solution is certainly a wired one tho, without a doubt.
Very, very few criminals have these jammers. Just advertising, selling or even merely possessing one of those is a serious crime. I've never seen a news story about anyone using one of these. I've also never seen anything about the use of one of these on the Ring Neighbors app (which hundreds of thousands or millions of people use to post footage of and information about crimes on or near their property). That said, I have multiple camera systems, wired and wireless. The Ring system is an important part of my security setup because it stores the footage remotely, meaning criminals can't steal it.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Not sure where you’re from but if you scroll through the comments you’ll see a whole page of links to news stories where these have been used. They’re used every day in automotive theft especially, countless times a day. It’s an offence (not sure about a particularly serious one in the UK), but it’s used by offenders for tech enabled crime… a much more serious crime than possession of a jammer. Hope it’s helped you understand the limitations of your Ring setup - I’m not knocking Ring, I’m sure you have some great kit. I’m just making the point that it’s a convenient doorbell, not a resilient security device.
@@LifeWithMikeG I scrolled through and didn't see the links you mentioned. Google results state these are exceptionally rare. Criminals can break in through windows or garage doors instead of front or back doors, but they very rarely do. I've never tried to install a ring doorbell on my car. :) My car has a security system with a backup batteries and air horns in addition to sirens. It will wake the dead. I get your point about Ring, but, even though I get your point and I myself have redundancies, Ring is the best option for most people. Most people are going to go with back up systems. The Ring systems are very user-friendly (much more so than wired setups with NVRs) and they have great support. The best security system is going to be the one you buy and use.
Do you have any specific details of documented incidents where a jammer was used to counter the Ring Doorbell? I would be extremely interested in reviewing any such cases occurring in the UK or US. You missed a few technicalities in your presentation relating to the effective range, frequency ranges and functionality.
Hi Kevin. Great points - I'll make another version of the video with that information - completely agree that would be useful stuff to know. Thanks for the feedback.
@@LifeWithMikeG - this just happened to me today, I press the door bell and it ringed, but i got nothing on my phone. Where can a person purchase these kind of Jammers. I'm here in the USA and that would be illegal to use out here. Can they purchase this Jammer online or through a Hardware store. Because one of my family members just use it today. I thought the battery was dead. Because when I tried to go live on it, I wasn't able to go live on it, i believe that hour glass or something like that kept going round and round again never allowing me to see what's happening outside. So I went downstairs and put my hand over it and it didn't notified me but i press the button and heard the tone just like you said but it didn't alert me on my Cell phone. I'm trying to find out which one of these kids put a Jammer on it and where they could have bought it. Please Help. Might have to switch to wire like you said.
@@ldmaze517 Just like firearms criminals do not need to purchase anything "legally," if they want a particular tool they will get it regardless. Laws do not prevent crime. They are a deterrence at best.
@@erikturner5073- Yes, I found those Jammers everywhere. I did some research. They are even selling them on Amazon. But if you get caught its a federal offense and you can go to jail for using it. But yes I understand what you are saying. Anybody can do anything illegally. Yes I am aware of that.

Layer security . A Murs alert motion system uses vhf signal . The murs alert is good back up while at home . Trail cameras with wired cams next line . Wired door and window contacts are better than wireless. Does not hurt to use some four inch deck screws in door plates either .
Ive got a ring doorbell camera. My kuma monitoring system running as a docker container on my router monitors the ring camera via icmp, wifi connectivity, and dns resolution and it alerts me via push notification and email. My router has 5g backup not to mention i have a server in the cloud which is monitoring the availability of my home internet connection. I think I'm a little paranoid. Inside the home i use a hardwired cctv camera setup with no internet access. If someone does break into my house well... Not much i can do to deter them at that point. My country doesn't allow for excessive or lethal force to be applied to an intruder.
We had a customer who had it and every time I walked past, it went off and that set the dog off, for a whole week, it was a fuckinf nightmare, I can't hear that shit anymore
Yep mine goes off 100 times a day. Annoying as fuck. The whole thing about ring is you do it yourself and it's easy and cheap. Theres really no other pros for this product
I'd probably worry far more if I didn't live behind two gates (gated community, gate on my driveway), didn't have an EWS and perimeter detector, didn't have a monitored alarm system with jamming detection and hard wired CCTV. But yeah, other than that I'm wide open 🙂
Hi @@Lolatyou332. The best way, without a doubt, is hard wired. I often recommend that people use hard wired security systems with a 3G / 4G backup on their NAS / NVR / DVR. That way someone would have to cut your internet AND jam the cell or vice versa. Providing you have one communication method, it should always be resilient. Also it's worth backing up your footage to both the DVR that comes with your cameras and another device, such as a QNAP or Synology NAS. That way, even if someone was to break in and steal the CCTV DVR, it will still be backed up elsewhere. There's also additional steps you can take like armoured trunking for CCTV cables or even just armoured Cat6 / video cables for your cameras. Also placing the cable up high (don't run them down to the ground for example) or running them straight back into your home and chasing them into walls will stop them being cut by pro burglars. There's generally a trade off - the easier it is to install, the easier it is for criminals to deactivate. There's also jamming detectors such as GLONAS but they'll only tell you if you're being jammed, which may not be too helpful. So definitely hardwired is the best option :-)
@@LifeWithMikeG Have you ever looked into something like dead-mans switch as well? Basically something that is running externally in the cloud and periodically pings or tries to get an acknowledgement from a device on your LAN? Should help to alert in the rare case that your internet and cellular devices are cut-off at the same time, just another piece of redundancy that would be beyond any criminal's intelligence.
@@Lolatyou332 Yeah absolutely, I use a similar thing which runs off ping requests. It also pulls aviation weather through an API call too, so if I lose the weather or the ping goes down then I know something's happened. The problem is reporting tho. For example, if the trigger goes, who does it contact? So my ping requests stop (broadband / cell backup down), but does it then alert the Police? Getting a proactive / reactive security system is sometimes more difficult than you'd expect - CCTV etc are all quite good to look back on what's happened, but triggering the right response is the hard part. I use an EWS (early warning system) at my house so as soon as someone approaches my property it alerts me - that leaves me with enough time to review the CCTV and make a call as to whether it's hostile or not before they're within 100m of my home. I also have a number of protocols, not all of which I'll name here, but one of the things you could do is have broadband, landline, cell and satellite for comms. If you've also got something high power and high gain then it'll often overpower these (relatively low power) jammers. As you can probably tell... I could talk about this all day so won't bore you here, but you're definitely thinking about the right things :-)
My question does how far does it work from? If motion is on and you need to get that close guess what it will pick up your motion before it jams the signal.
@@globe2555 Yeah - if the whole chain is wired, wireless jammers won't work on them. I've got wired CCTV at my house, wired to my router, which is wired to the exchange... Can't be jammed.
Who issues this for security? It’s more for a means of answering your door without actually answering? If want security, actually get full security cameras and alarm sensors.
That doesn't happen unfortunately. I've got Verisure at two properties and have looked into it extensively. Verisure has a "5 minute loop" for a ping of life. If it doesn't detect a phone home in 5 minute cycles then it MAY trigger an alert to Securitas (who run the SOC) but there's no way of them triggering the alarm if it's jammed. Verisure doesn't sound automatically if it's jammed... I'm happy to make a video, with this jammer, to show you if you like. I'm not knocking Verisure tho. We've had Verisure installed in almost 30 client properties and it works well. Jamming is very difficult to detect and action properly. It's easy enough to detect but you also can't have your alarm going off because you've got noisy WiFi. It's hard to tell what's legitimate, what's interference and what's jamming.
My neighbor has a ring doorbell and we share a communal car park, the ring door bell is attached to their door. Can this record my family walking to the car out side my house because of the motion setting.
I have more than one ring camera around the exterior of my home. If someone were to use a scrambler device like that on my street, would it scramble all my cameras or just the one facing the street?
All you get is a picture of a criminal. Police where I am at will not investigate and prosecuters will not prosecute. I use the camera as to see in real time.. Home security is the heavy duty steel security doors, the dogs that bite, and firearms.
My home was broken into the other day and I had 8 cameras and the police chased them and they dropped a wifi cell jammer and they disabled my cameras with it
There MUST be a a jammer for the jammer, a kind of Anti-Jammer got cha bitch ,device that renders them useless/powerless,ah Man? a Yank,across da pond in Carolina!!
I have a professionally installed security system operates on cellular and Wi-Fi My security system is working fine zero issues But when you UPS picks up or delivers a package they go completely undetected on my surveillance footage They deliver pick up packages at my front door 3 cameras angled at different angles pointing at my front door Nothing ever gets past my camera unless it's ups
Most security systems just buy time and at the end of the day only keep the honest people out anyway. If someone is determined enough they can bypass them. Thing is if you made an effort to fit some security and your neighbours did not, well you may divert the problem..
Knowing the dangers of this device, why would a company who cares about people and their property even market such a gadget? Sounds terribly irresponsible!
Hi Lyn. Thanks for the comment. These devices are widely used by criminals - we've not educated anyone in the criminal community at all. Who we've educated is the unsuspecting members of the public who now understand the limitations of the RING device. This video offers a very simple solution... Get a hard wired CCTV kit. You can either say we're irresponsible for notifying people of the dangers and remain blissfully unaware and susceptible to this type of crime, or you can now take action to better protect you and your property given the information you now have. Hope that answers your question and you don't think this is irresponsible, we're very careful about what we post.
@@LifeWithMikeG Except unless your cctv cameras and dvr are backed up by a UPS and cellular backup to call out, in many areas the electrical main box, telephone lines and coaxial cables entering the house are publicly accessible. Many cities require this so in case of emergency, fire department can shut off your water, power and gas mains.
Hi was reading coment about verisure alarms can show me that you gadget works on them as I was looking into getting verisure installed now I’m kinda put off I would appreciate it pal
No, you can totally jam 5GHz too if you have a device that jams that band. As long as it’s wireless basically anything can be jammed if you know what frequencies it uses, even stuff like Z-Wave.
@@VideoMasterSword basically. If you're expecting a skilled adversary hardwire is a must. Either way you probably don't want to use the stickers that came with your system, so you don't end up telling an attacker exactly what tech you're using so they can find out how to disrupt it even easier.
Wow I know some people who set a lady apartment door on fire while they were sleeping and her ring was knocked off with this Wi-Fi jammer every day all day long they come pass her door or stand in the hallway disconnecting her device they trying to set her door on fire again smh the police won’t even help her they claim they don’t know what a jammer is when we showed them the video were you can see plan as day that’s what they using well I think they need some kind of protection for the ring doorbell or what’s the use of having them
Well positioned Professional grade WIFI cameras, well fenced, well lighted houses (360) offer good deterrence, a nice 12 gauge locked and loaded also helps, don't be shy to let everyone know that you will protect your property at all costs, as long as you are willing to protect your loved ones and what is yours at all costs you will be fine or not! 😅🤣😂
People that just don't like being recorded everywhere they go use these too. I chose to stay out of acting because i like my privacy and didn't wan't be filmed everywhere i go. I just like anyone else has to have these for the car, home and personal carry if i wan't some privacy it's sad.
Ideally you should connect the Ring base station to ethernet. Then all the contacts on doors and windows are Zwave, not wifi. So you'll still have a basic security system in the presence of a wifi jammer. But the cameras are susceptible to jammers. You could consider an additional hardwire camera as a backup in case Ring camera is compromised.
Ultimately though, you shouldn't rely on just a Ring camera alone for home security. It's not that expensive to upgrade to a more comprehensive security system.
Uh, it disrupts all wireless communication including mobile phones. So you shouldn't be expecting any notifications on the smart watch next to the jammer you are holding.
As far as i know, Ring devices do not have any sort of built in storage, so if it looses connection, you get nothing It wouldn’t be as much of an issue with devices that have some sort of storage built in, but there is still the possibility of someone stealing and/or smashing the device and/or memory card
The Rings "wired" to the doorbell circuit are a wast of time. The battery still goes flat in a week or two. Same with the solar frame attachments - unless maybe you live in a desert. The bigger problem is that the Ring Doorbells miss a LOT of activity, and activity that is detected if often delayed in transmission to the monitors, so you get a video of the person walking away. You can mess with the settings, but in reality it doesn't really work well at all.

Why not to trust ring door bell *proceeds to pull out a James Bond device from the 80s* 😂
We ditched our Ring Doorbell when the subscription went up. We’ve moved over to a wired Reolink unit. So far been absolutely flawless paired with a Reolink Home Hub Pro, and other wired Reolink CCTV cameras.
Reasonably priced cameras. With decent reliability.
That's the trouble now, people don't have a clue about the jammers and remote control fobs out there, I mess about with electronics as a hobby, people don't know that there yale alarm advertising on the front of there house is mostly wireless, you can grab, jam , do what you like with the alarm, night vision cameras, you can jam them or connect a light into a hat and at night walk down your high street and any night vision camera looking at you thay will only see a ball of light but that's not illegal and not to see you face. The man showing you a jammer, this one would be expensive, but you can buy them connect to a iphone for little money and get and do the same thing, good video and listen to this man showing the public this and how easy these jammers can take and cripple signals, 👍👏👏

@@LifeWithMikeG no worries mike
Sorry, was meant to reply to Holly Keefer!@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again
They sure don’t and it’s sad that there’s videos showing them how to get pass the ring they set an old lady door on fire with her ring on the door it didn’t even show them doing it I would have sued the hell out of ring
this video was really helpful! I've been deciding if getting a ring is a good idea for a Christmas gift
Nice, a how to video of how to steal packages. This will come in handy next December.
2 burglars got caught in our street a few nights ago, they definitely didn't have one of these things, as they got caught by every single Ring doorbell on the estate as rhey were trying all the car doors. Currently on bail awaiting trial!! 😂🙈
Glad they got caught Carl!
Someone must have sold them a walkie talkie with 5 aerials and told them it was a jammer
Most burglars are opportunistic and most are only on either drink or drugs or both , they don't run around with these unless they're pros and pros only go for big hits such as footballers etc
Great video
Will the jammer block wireless cameras that are from professional alarm companies? Our home security company says they’re military security grade and cannot be altered but now I wonder…
Thanks for the comment. In short, any wireless infrastructure can be jammed. Some will be harder with handheld jammers such as these, but even Police / Military systems are susceptible to jamming. The main thing to look for is something with jamming detection, which not many places use as it relies on a constant connection or "ping of life". When that connection drops, or the ping stops in the event of jamming, they can detect the comms being lost. The best option is always wired, if possible.
@@LifeWithMikeG
wires can get cut...then what
@@truthlives6107 they do sell metal covers for wires.
@@cggalan3914 And since metal can’t be cut! Nice 👍🏽
who the would buy a 2 grand signal jammer to rob houses ??? not the local smack heads who do 80% of home robbery's. they would rather steal the bloody ring door bell, buy a tail camera security box and a good padlock for it, the ring fits in it quite well.
No but people stealing Range Rovers do…
Very interesting if I could hear what your saying audio is to Iow and backgound noise doesn't heIp.
chainsaw sound
Not sure why ring doesn't do an on the device storage so it can save the video there and then upload it to the cloud. I didn't think about this when I bought the doorbell but now realized you need a good wireless connection with the doorbell. Now I'm dealing with how to get a better video as mine is all grainy.
Thanks for educating criminals. That makes you an accessory to the crime.
Thanks for the comment, but you clearly haven’t read the comments below (including links to news stories).
Can Z wave, Zigbee, Thread, Wifi and Bluetooth home security devices be jammed with the similar devices? If you have to choose among those signals which one is your first pick?
Good question. In short, all of them can be jammed, but I'd select ZWave if I had to pick one. The best solution is certainly a wired one tho, without a doubt.
In Australia delivery drivers are using something similar when dropping parcels off.
Good video. Luckily the burglars in my area aren't that sophisticated.
Burglars of my area, steal the ring bell itself
😂🤣
They will be now after watching this.
Why didn’t you wire your ring doorbell to your exsiction doorbell wires?
I’d press them both creating a song 😂
I only used it for this video :-)
Plebs like me don't need to worry about professional criminals breaking into my house.
Fun to do the brain exercises and create security theatre though.
Very, very few criminals have these jammers. Just advertising, selling or even merely possessing one of those is a serious crime. I've never seen a news story about anyone using one of these. I've also never seen anything about the use of one of these on the Ring Neighbors app (which hundreds of thousands or millions of people use to post footage of and information about crimes on or near their property). That said, I have multiple camera systems, wired and wireless. The Ring system is an important part of my security setup because it stores the footage remotely, meaning criminals can't steal it.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Not sure where you’re from but if you scroll through the comments you’ll see a whole page of links to news stories where these have been used. They’re used every day in automotive theft especially, countless times a day. It’s an offence (not sure about a particularly serious one in the UK), but it’s used by offenders for tech enabled crime… a much more serious crime than possession of a jammer. Hope it’s helped you understand the limitations of your Ring setup - I’m not knocking Ring, I’m sure you have some great kit. I’m just making the point that it’s a convenient doorbell, not a resilient security device.
@@LifeWithMikeG I scrolled through and didn't see the links you mentioned. Google results state these are exceptionally rare. Criminals can break in through windows or garage doors instead of front or back doors, but they very rarely do. I've never tried to install a ring doorbell on my car. :) My car has a security system with a backup batteries and air horns in addition to sirens. It will wake the dead. I get your point about Ring, but, even though I get your point and I myself have redundancies, Ring is the best option for most people. Most people are going to go with back up systems. The Ring systems are very user-friendly (much more so than wired setups with NVRs) and they have great support. The best security system is going to be the one you buy and use.
@@LifeWithMikeGThat is my problem .
@@LifeWithMikeGThat is my problem. I have a ring but someone or ones is still coming in my house. Reported to police but they don’t take you serious .
LOL I always wondered about these dodgey bells
Do you have any specific details of documented incidents where a jammer was used to counter the Ring Doorbell? I would be extremely interested in reviewing any such cases occurring in the UK or US. You missed a few technicalities in your presentation relating to the effective range, frequency ranges and functionality.
Hi Kevin. Great points - I'll make another version of the video with that information - completely agree that would be useful stuff to know. Thanks for the feedback.
@@LifeWithMikeG - this just happened to me today, I press the door bell and it ringed, but i got nothing on my phone. Where can a person purchase these kind of Jammers. I'm here in the USA and that would be illegal to use out here. Can they purchase this Jammer online or through a Hardware store. Because one of my family members just use it today. I thought the battery was dead. Because when I tried to go live on it, I wasn't able to go live on it, i believe that hour glass or something like that kept going round and round again never allowing me to see what's happening outside. So I went downstairs and put my hand over it and it didn't notified me but i press the button and heard the tone just like you said but it didn't alert me on my Cell phone. I'm trying to find out which one of these kids put a Jammer on it and where they could have bought it. Please Help. Might have to switch to wire like you said.
@@ldmaze517 Just like firearms criminals do not need to purchase anything "legally," if they want a particular tool they will get it regardless. Laws do not prevent crime. They are a deterrence at best.
@@erikturner5073- Yes, I found those Jammers everywhere. I did some research. They are even selling them on Amazon. But if you get caught its a federal offense and you can go to jail for using it. But yes I understand what you are saying. Anybody can do anything illegally. Yes I am aware of that.

These types of criminals are called 'Jammy dodgers'!
Layer security . A Murs alert motion system uses vhf signal . The murs alert is good back up while at home . Trail cameras with wired cams next line . Wired door and window contacts are better than wireless. Does not hurt to use some four inch deck screws in door plates either .
It's debatable who you've just helped the most, the criminal or the victim!
Ive got a ring doorbell camera. My kuma monitoring system running as a docker container on my router monitors the ring camera via icmp, wifi connectivity, and dns resolution and it alerts me via push notification and email. My router has 5g backup not to mention i have a server in the cloud which is monitoring the availability of my home internet connection. I think I'm a little paranoid. Inside the home i use a hardwired cctv camera setup with no internet access. If someone does break into my house well... Not much i can do to deter them at that point. My country doesn't allow for excessive or lethal force to be applied to an intruder.
The limitation of no onboard storage is a huge detriment.
100%
I repair phones and many of my customers have this app going off all day
We had a customer who had it and every time I walked past, it went off and that set the dog off, for a whole week, it was a fuckinf nightmare, I can't hear that shit anymore
Yep mine goes off 100 times a day. Annoying as fuck. The whole thing about ring is you do it yourself and it's easy and cheap. Theres really no other pros for this product
Very true!
Because they have notifications and motion sensitivity settings.
@@nunya8843 Yep. Sounds like they arent using activity zones when they should.
I'd worry more about your single panel glazing rather than a wifi jamming device tbh lol
I'd probably worry far more if I didn't live behind two gates (gated community, gate on my driveway), didn't have an EWS and perimeter detector, didn't have a monitored alarm system with jamming detection and hard wired CCTV. But yeah, other than that I'm wide open 🙂
@@LifeWithMikeG do you have any recommendations on jamming detection? -- Buying a house soon and investigating all possible security measures.
Hi @@Lolatyou332. The best way, without a doubt, is hard wired. I often recommend that people use hard wired security systems with a 3G / 4G backup on their NAS / NVR / DVR. That way someone would have to cut your internet AND jam the cell or vice versa. Providing you have one communication method, it should always be resilient. Also it's worth backing up your footage to both the DVR that comes with your cameras and another device, such as a QNAP or Synology NAS. That way, even if someone was to break in and steal the CCTV DVR, it will still be backed up elsewhere. There's also additional steps you can take like armoured trunking for CCTV cables or even just armoured Cat6 / video cables for your cameras. Also placing the cable up high (don't run them down to the ground for example) or running them straight back into your home and chasing them into walls will stop them being cut by pro burglars. There's generally a trade off - the easier it is to install, the easier it is for criminals to deactivate. There's also jamming detectors such as GLONAS but they'll only tell you if you're being jammed, which may not be too helpful. So definitely hardwired is the best option :-)
@@LifeWithMikeG Have you ever looked into something like dead-mans switch as well? Basically something that is running externally in the cloud and periodically pings or tries to get an acknowledgement from a device on your LAN?
Should help to alert in the rare case that your internet and cellular devices are cut-off at the same time, just another piece of redundancy that would be beyond any criminal's intelligence.
@@Lolatyou332 Yeah absolutely, I use a similar thing which runs off ping requests. It also pulls aviation weather through an API call too, so if I lose the weather or the ping goes down then I know something's happened. The problem is reporting tho. For example, if the trigger goes, who does it contact? So my ping requests stop (broadband / cell backup down), but does it then alert the Police? Getting a proactive / reactive security system is sometimes more difficult than you'd expect - CCTV etc are all quite good to look back on what's happened, but triggering the right response is the hard part. I use an EWS (early warning system) at my house so as soon as someone approaches my property it alerts me - that leaves me with enough time to review the CCTV and make a call as to whether it's hostile or not before they're within 100m of my home. I also have a number of protocols, not all of which I'll name here, but one of the things you could do is have broadband, landline, cell and satellite for comms. If you've also got something high power and high gain then it'll often overpower these (relatively low power) jammers. As you can probably tell... I could talk about this all day so won't bore you here, but you're definitely thinking about the right things :-)
My question does how far does it work from? If motion is on and you need to get that close guess what it will pick up your motion before it jams the signal.
It works from around 25m so definitely long enough range to avoid being detected by motion first 🙂
It's just a question about finding its frequency, and block it, then it doesn't matter if it is cordless, or not.
You'd struggle to jam wired devices... So definitely does make a difference if it's wireless or not 🙂
@@LifeWithMikeG Correct, that's why I said: then.....
@@globe2555 I'm not sure I understand this? You're saying it doesn't make a difference if it's cordless or not, I'm saying it does?
Are you saying you can't block it if it is wired?
@@globe2555 Yeah - if the whole chain is wired, wireless jammers won't work on them. I've got wired CCTV at my house, wired to my router, which is wired to the exchange... Can't be jammed.
Always have 2 cameras, 1 obvious camera and a hidden camera
Eufy has option to store videos locally and upload the cloud when signal returns
Who issues this for security? It’s more for a means of answering your door without actually answering? If want security, actually get full security cameras and alarm sensors.
But will the sensors work if the wifi is jammed?
Exactly the point Christopher - can't beat a really good security system.
If they don't know they do now, great job. Videos like these are just wonderful
jammer doesn't work against .45 rounds
Certainly doesn’t 😂
Where can we get this device
Verisure has a system built into it . if it detects jamming happening it triggers the alarm
That doesn't happen unfortunately. I've got Verisure at two properties and have looked into it extensively. Verisure has a "5 minute loop" for a ping of life. If it doesn't detect a phone home in 5 minute cycles then it MAY trigger an alert to Securitas (who run the SOC) but there's no way of them triggering the alarm if it's jammed. Verisure doesn't sound automatically if it's jammed... I'm happy to make a video, with this jammer, to show you if you like.
I'm not knocking Verisure tho. We've had Verisure installed in almost 30 client properties and it works well. Jamming is very difficult to detect and action properly. It's easy enough to detect but you also can't have your alarm going off because you've got noisy WiFi. It's hard to tell what's legitimate, what's interference and what's jamming.
A lock only deters the honest man.
My neighbor has a ring doorbell and we share a communal car park, the ring door bell is attached to their door. Can this record my family walking to the car out side my house because of the motion setting.
Can wired ring video door bell pro 2 get hacked
I have more than one ring camera around the exterior of my home. If someone were to use a scrambler device like that on my street, would it scramble all my cameras or just the one facing the street?
It depends on the strength of the jammer but, potentially, all of them. The one in the video would jam any cameras in about a 15m radius.
All you get is a picture of a criminal. Police where I am at will not investigate and prosecuters will not prosecute. I use the camera as to see in real time.. Home security is the heavy duty steel security doors, the dogs that bite, and firearms.
How do you protect against it
Hardwired system Qkween 🙂
I always carry a signal jammer on me when I leave the house.
?
My home was broken into the other day and I had 8 cameras and the police chased them and they dropped a wifi cell jammer and they disabled my cameras with it
cops get them?
@@YHWH101 probably just bullshit..
So how can I jam the jammer or make Ring jam proof? Sign, Ring Pro Owner.
You would have to wrap your house, including your cameras, inside of a faraday cage.
This explains slot of what is happening to me!
There MUST be a a jammer for the jammer, a kind of Anti-Jammer got cha bitch ,device that renders them useless/powerless,ah Man? a Yank,across da pond in Carolina!!
I have a professionally installed security system operates on cellular and Wi-Fi
My security system is working fine zero issues
But when you UPS picks up or delivers a package they go completely undetected on my surveillance footage
They deliver pick up packages at my front door 3 cameras angled at different angles pointing at my front door
Nothing ever gets past my camera unless it's ups
Those guys earn extra depending on how many packages they handle. They are always in a hurry. Maybe they're just running too fast!
Hi Kristin. This sounds like it could possibly be interference with some of the technology (computers, trackers etc) being used by UPS.
Won’t ring see the criminal and alert before they come close enough with the jammer?
Thank you. Time to upgrade.
What can I use to avoid the cameras being hacked I need a walk thru and install
If they jam a Eufy does it permanently break it? Can I reset the system after they jammed it?
It's very rare that jamming does any permanent damage. It should either come back online by itself or a reset should bring it back up.
I swear the internet is a double edged sword 🗡️ this fool just teaching people how to be criminals 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for watching
Most security systems just buy time and at the end of the day only keep the honest people out anyway. If someone is determined enough they can bypass them. Thing is if you made an effort to fit some security and your neighbours did not, well you may divert the problem..
SD card back up, still won't alert you but the camera will still record them.
Knowing the dangers of this device, why would a company who cares about people and their property even market such a gadget? Sounds terribly irresponsible!
Hi Lyn. Thanks for the comment. These devices are widely used by criminals - we've not educated anyone in the criminal community at all. Who we've educated is the unsuspecting members of the public who now understand the limitations of the RING device. This video offers a very simple solution... Get a hard wired CCTV kit. You can either say we're irresponsible for notifying people of the dangers and remain blissfully unaware and susceptible to this type of crime, or you can now take action to better protect you and your property given the information you now have. Hope that answers your question and you don't think this is irresponsible, we're very careful about what we post.
@@LifeWithMikeG
Except unless your cctv cameras and dvr are backed up by a UPS and cellular backup to call out, in many areas the electrical main box, telephone lines and coaxial cables entering the house are publicly accessible. Many cities require this so in case of emergency, fire department can shut off your water, power and gas mains.
I wouldn't worry. Not many people could understand half of what he said.
Hi was reading coment about verisure alarms can show me that you gadget works on them as I was looking into getting verisure installed now I’m kinda put off I would appreciate it pal
Good thing this device wont jam my gun!
my Ring is on the 5 GHz band
(I think you can only disturb 2.4 GHz)
Good point!
No, you can totally jam 5GHz too if you have a device that jams that band. As long as it’s wireless basically anything can be jammed if you know what frequencies it uses, even stuff like Z-Wave.
@@jdatlas4668 so nothing is safe wireless
@@VideoMasterSword basically. If you're expecting a skilled adversary hardwire is a must. Either way you probably don't want to use the stickers that came with your system, so you don't end up telling an attacker exactly what tech you're using so they can find out how to disrupt it even easier.

What web site you bought the device from?
I didn’t buy it from a website, they’re very hard to get hold of in the UK tbh.
we were just wondering 😉
Wow I know some people who set a lady apartment door on fire while they were sleeping and her ring was knocked off with this Wi-Fi jammer every day all day long they come pass her door or stand in the hallway disconnecting her device they trying to set her door on fire again smh the police won’t even help her they claim they don’t know what a jammer is when we showed them the video were you can see plan as day that’s what they using well I think they need some kind of protection for the ring doorbell or what’s the use of having them
Well positioned Professional grade WIFI cameras, well fenced, well lighted houses (360) offer good deterrence, a nice 12 gauge locked and loaded also helps, don't be shy to let everyone know that you will protect your property at all costs, as long as you are willing to protect your loved ones and what is yours at all costs you will be fine or not! 😅🤣😂
Billy burglar didn't often carry a jammer though so don't worry folks
Dose it pick up things if people juts walk passed your house or do you have to be up close please
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. There's no rhyme or reason as to how it works. It is not reliable under any circumstances. It is a scam.
People that just don't like being recorded everywhere they go use these too. I chose to stay out of acting because i like my privacy and didn't wan't be filmed everywhere i go. I just like anyone else has to have these for the car, home and personal carry if i wan't some privacy it's sad.
Ya, I stayed out of the fishing industry because I didn’t like being watched by sea life all the time. So I know exactly how you feel.
Ideally you should connect the Ring base station to ethernet. Then all the contacts on doors and windows are Zwave, not wifi. So you'll still have a basic security system in the presence of a wifi jammer. But the cameras are susceptible to jammers. You could consider an additional hardwire camera as a backup in case Ring camera is compromised.
Ultimately though, you shouldn't rely on just a Ring camera alone for home security. It's not that expensive to upgrade to a more comprehensive security system.
Uh, it disrupts all wireless communication including mobile phones. So you shouldn't be expecting any notifications on the smart watch next to the jammer you are holding.
Yes… that’s the point of the video… 🙂
I need walkthrough of how to not get cameras hacked and what I need to install to avoid getting my system hacked
Oh f... . I'm just after installing one... tks for the heads-up lad
Of course, all security system..
Ok so if the device blocks the camera from working, what about the internal recording memory card? Will it still continue to record? Or stop?
As far as i know, Ring devices do not have any sort of built in storage, so if it looses connection, you get nothing
It wouldn’t be as much of an issue with devices that have some sort of storage built in, but there is still the possibility of someone stealing and/or smashing the device and/or memory card
Great video just ready to get in and out without my lady silently tracking me thru the ring doorbell worst gift I ever bought lol smh
Am I right in thinking the wired ring stuff is no better?
The Rings "wired" to the doorbell circuit are a wast of time. The battery still goes flat in a week or two. Same with the solar frame attachments - unless maybe you live in a desert. The bigger problem is that the Ring Doorbells miss a LOT of activity, and activity that is detected if often delayed in transmission to the monitors, so you get a video of the person walking away. You can mess with the settings, but in reality it doesn't really work well at all.
Where can I get a jammer like that? I need one to jam my neighbors who use electromagnetic frequency devices to abuse me and my dog Charlie.
I think they’re illegal.
I find it odd how these jammers don’t stop SMS messages?
They do stop SMS messages 🙂
@@LifeWithMikeG A few years ago I had one,it blocked everything,but it didn’t block messages through h WhatsApp?
