Comment on Wi-Fi jamming to knock out cameras suspected in nine Minnesota burglaries -- smart security systems vulnerable as tech becomes cheaper and easier to acquire

• jonne@infosec.pub ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Some of them even have solar panels as well. It’s very useful if you want to DYI installation without having to run cables all over the place (data and/or power).

  This Wi-Fi jamming stuff does seem like a huge issue. I was actually considering wireless down the line, but maybe a system with proper wired connections would be better.

    Power over Ethernet (PoE) requires one wire for both data and power. You also need a PoE network switch, or a “PoE injector” which is basically a power brick that adds power to the network cord.

      There are also poe adapters that allow you to power a non poe device. Can be useful in many situations.

      Yeah, that would definitely be the way to go. You still have to run the cables all over the place, whether it’s one or two. I totally get why people go with wireless.

  Have wireless setup, works really well. If they want it that bad they can have it while I’m gone or risk their life while I’m there.

    If you don’t care about your stuff, why would your risk your life to risk their lives? Lol

      If it were me, I wouldn’t be as worried if I wasn’t there to lose stuff. If I was there I would be concerned with violence against me or my family. Not concerned with stuff but very concerned with safety.

        That’s fair, but the other comment made it sound like they’d want to confront/attack the intruder

      Entering my house without permission while I’m there is a threat.

        Yeah, if someone is nutty enough to come inside, they’re getting shot. I don’t live in a fortress, but you have to make the effort, and anyone making that effort probably doesn’t have my family’s well-being in mind.

        I also had a bear wander in my giant dog door, so there’s that as well.
