Sick, where do I get those jammers?
I'm not gonna rob anyone, I just don't want cameras working nearby me.
You do realize it stops wifi in general from working, not just the cameras
It doesn't even stop the cameras, which would continue to record and save in their SD cards locally.
Ones that have that feature. Some popular cheaper brands (e.g. Ring) the individual cameras can’t support SD cards but the base station can but they need wifi to be able to do that.
Ring is not a cheap camera. The $20 Chinese cloud cameras sold on Amazon are extremely common and they all have MicroSD card slots as a backup option.
If I'm out in the world around unfriendly cameras I'm probably not on Wifi anyway. And yes, I know all the reasons they're illegal, this isn't completely serious.
Smash microwave oven window and you got a very powerful jammer
Hey it tickles
