Put enough voltage through the line and you'll destroy the switch, ethernet cables, and possibly other network devices that are connected.

Pour gasoline over the cameras, then light it, and you can burn the whole house down destroying the footage and killing everyone inside!

You can't build a system that's immune to every possible type of attack, but fortunately you don't have to. Most people will never catch a single "bad guy" with their camera set up, and will never have anyone mess with the system at all. That doesn't mean it's not a good idea to take a few simple steps to better protect yourself, your family, your packages, your network and your privacy. If you see value in having your surroundings captured on camera you can gain a lot of benefits for a small amount of effort by throwing your ring cameras in the trash and setting up a dedicated network for their replacements.
