Stupid question but? Fake red LEDs that have battery backup in every security camera?

Seems cheap and effective.

Best option is PoE and battery back up (if they elect to pull the meter)? I guess they could also cut your cable. Or forget all of that and get a nice pup

> The gang broke in and took $25,000 in cash and valuables worth $100,000.

thieves targeting wealthy homes and coming prepared. or am i to believe that $25k cash is typical to keep around the house for most folks?

For many of my Asian friends, yes.

since you specified a category, that appears to validate my assertions about targeting and wealthy.

thank you my friend.

Thieves also use pavers and crowbars to enter homes for robbery

It would cost some money but one could quite easily create wifi jamming detection for a whole city.

It's simply staying ahead.

It's far easier for people to get proper cameras that aren't relying on wifi or internet to function.

Even so you still need police to care for this to be if any use

That will only benefit those who can aford it.

If theves are going to broadcast their crimes in advance it's stupid to chose not to receave the announcement.
