    We’re talking about children playing a harmless prank… They’re not bringing “jammers” with them. Point was that a doorbell cam would let them see that it’s just kids goofing off. If the bell rang late at night, they looked at the cam, and it was all scrambled, I think it would be pretty safe to assume that wasn’t ding dong ditch.

      I was referring to actual criminals and not kids playing pranks.

      Ring cameras absolutely have been hacked and jammed. The people who did that weren’t kids being annoying. They were car theft rings who used the time that cameras were downed to steal cars.

        Yes, I understand. The point is, if your shit is being jammed, then you likely have genuine reason to be concerned. So the doorbell cam helps you realize they’re not kids playing a prank doesn’t it
