Criminals can jam WiFi and render Ring cameras useless?
Home break in and Ring has NO recording/history of it ever happening! Have since learned criminals can easily jam our WiFi rendering Ring cameras completely useless. Is this right? Is only remedy to throw out existing cameras and replace with ones that connect to RJ45/ethernet (i.e. hardwired into our network)? I've seen the term "PPoE" which I believe means power over ethernet. Does it also handle the signal that way and not use WiFi? Distraught after the big investment in Ring cameras only to know realize they're completely useless. Thanks in advance for help/replies.

I'm guessing a lot of people have now had this experience but my car was stolen at the weekend and my ring doorbell and spotlight camera were both rendered useless by what I can only guess was a jammer of some sort. Pretty devastated to know that my Ring security is completely pointless. Basically allows me to see when the postman has been but if an actual criminal with a slight bit of no-how wants to get in without being seen then it's easy enough! By the looks of it you can buy these jammers on Amazon too, which is nice, since they own Ring!! I think it needs to be more in the public domain just how pointless Ring products actually are.

It would be good to see more PoE offerings from Ring, especially a doorbell. The Elite is too hard to retrofit and way out of date with regards to features. It would be nice to see a Pro 2 style device (even if a bit larger) which could be surface mounted and do PoE for power and data. The other prime candidate is the floodlight cam. Needs to be hardwired for power anyway so why not make it PoE.
