They’d have to know you’re running wireless, though.

They have to know only to achieve the goal of disabling the camera, but they would probably use it for everyone's, and hope for the best if they are desperate. I am not sure if you can tell if the camera has been disabled.

Pretty obvious by looking at them. Everyone has one of the same 5 brands, and the models are obvious when you see them.

By the time you’re close enough to see the brand, I would assume you’ve already been caught on camera.

Doesn’t matter. Someone can walk into jamming range wearing a mask, fire up the jammer, and there is no record of the B&E that happens 60 seconds later.

Wireless cameras are mostly a false sense of security for homeowners, much like a deadbolt on a door with a glass window in it.

At least you can talkback and confuse the cat while you’re at work. Doesn’t do fuck-all for safety.
