It's just going to interfere with the transmission of the data.

It's so strong and overpowering that nothing can be sent or received.

It can't be heard.

In this case, maybe the Nest camera is broadcasting video to the router.

The router is then sending it to the service.

Now, when a Wi-Fi jammer is set next to that camera, it's going to scream so loud that the signal from the device, from the camera, isn't heard by the router.

It's just going to jump between it and block that signal.

It emits a signal that's more powerful than the Nest camera.

It would overwhelm that bandwidth.

It just screams and yells really loud, and then the router can't hear the camera anymore.

It just interferes and severs that communication.

And sending, yes.

Exactly.

It is very possible that that is a Wi-Fi signal jamming antenna.

You normally would see more than one antenna.

There's usually one antenna per band that it's going to try to interfere with, as your illustration here shows.

So it could still be a walkie-talkie of some sort, but that antenna is also something that you would see on a Wi-Fi jammer.

No.

Some have two, some have three, depending on the jammer.

sophistication of the jammer the technology that's being used you can see more some don't have one you you would have to provide a separate antenna some have them integrated into the device for portability huh so some have no antenna or you you bomb they everything has to have an antenna but if you buy they can be mounted to to anything they're not
