That approach will eliminate most cord-cutting concerns—but what about their wireless equivalent, jamming? With the right device tuned to the right frequency, what's to stop a thief from jamming your setup and blocking that alert signal from ever reaching the base station?Jamming concerns are nothing new, and they're not unique to security systems.

So, too, would the motion detectors in your home, so the thief will need to continue jamming once he's inside and searching for things to steal.

Security devices are required to list the frequencies they broadcast on—that means that a potential thief can find what they need to know with minimal Googling.

Every one of them has vulnerabilities that a knowledgeable thief could theoretically exploit.

They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum.
