They cost about $60 or $70, and they only work in a short range, about a 10 to 12 feet radius.

Since a lot of home security devices like your ring camera or your alarms run on the Wi-Fi network, a Wi-Fi jammer would disable them with the push of a button.

In other incidents, residents like the one we heard from earlier have found cameras hidden in their bushes or lawns that monitor when people are coming and going.

So think, they might be covered in fake grass or turf, completely camouflaged so you cannot see someone surveilling you, your family, your kids.

Yeah, I spoke with Mark Rash.

That's that security expert.

He used to work for the U.S.

Justice Department, and now he works for this security firm out of New Jersey.

And he said the best thing that people can do is use a hardwired system.

So it's a system that doesn't depend on Wi-Fi, and it's much harder in that case to jam.

Now, if you do use Wi-Fi, make sure you're choosing a signal that's more resilient, like a 5G bandwidth signal.

There are also security devices that can save the data to an SD card.

So even if the Wi-Fi fails, you'll always have a backup and you can give that to police.

And hopefully that will lead them to the crooks.
