Annnd.. the tweet shows the exact product used.

It's now showing as sold out on shopee.com (maybe it was before though, who knows?)

I run a smart home blog (smarthomepoint.com) and it's surprising how many people email me saying that their Ring cameras randomly stopped recording, and right before someone walked past and pointed a 'phone like device' at their camera.

It'd be interesting to know just how pervasive WiFi jammers are.

I suspect it's a bigger problem than is advertised in the media.

There are no wired communications in our neighbourhood and burglars have been using these for a long time to disable alarm systems. They use broad spectrum ones because alarm systems use anything from radio, wifi, 2g,3g,4g,5g to send info and contact the authorities. Some people have put up jammer detectors hooked into the sirens; it cannot call the police so then better make more noise.
