    We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version czcams.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.

    Glad you showed this. Criminals can be smart and resourceful. I grew up in a ghetto so I know. Law enforcement only captures a small percentage. Plus this video can be educational considering that most people today purchase WI-FI home security systems. It's best to know and address their faults as opposed to keeping one head in the sand. Criminals are usually a few step ahead.

    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.

    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.

    • @LifeWithMikeG
      @LifeWithMikeG  Před rokem

      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 🙂

  • @NottyAries
    @NottyAries Před 2 lety +16

    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.

    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.

    • @LifeWithMikeG
      @LifeWithMikeG  Před rokem +5

      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.

    • @lllmmm3572
      @lllmmm3572 Před rokem

      ​@@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.

      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
      @LifeWithMikeG  Před 3 lety +2

      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.

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.

    • @LifeWithMikeG
      @LifeWithMikeG  Před 3 lety +5

      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  Před 3 lety +2

      @@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 :-)

      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.

    If I have a Ring device that is connected via an ethernet would that prevent this or would they just be able to block/jam my internet just coming into my house (Three 5g)and therefore render the fact I'm using an ethernet opposed to WiFi as being pointless as they could still block/jam?

WiFi is not secure, although I am still looking for ways to use it. It is great for ease of use but terrible to stop criminals. I better stop before I Offend someone and get locked up....HaHa
