Yes that is correct. That is my theory. I have to move my homebase around through out the day because they do this.
I don’t know if they are using a jammer. I wouldn’t know where to start to prove this. My thought is that they are using something other than a jammer to knock homebase offline. Since they sometimes knocked down individual cameras only on one side of the house it makes it obvious they are doing it.
Same here un the U.S. but goodluck proving it. I don’t know that they are necessarily using a signal hammer. If so it would have to be very directional and only reach a small area because otherwise they would disrupt allot of neighboring wifis. With that said, there are other signals that can be used to accomplish similar outcomes. I’m just wondering how to defend against it. Eventually we will go wired. Anything on the same frequency can theoretical cause disruption.
Wired cams will eventually be the plan. Until then I’ve been working with what I have. It is both the homebase and sometimes individual cameras. That means they are using something to disrupt homebase’s signals. They use to do it to the older homebases too. I can think of several ways they might possibly accomplish this but I don’t want to list them publicly. I call wifi cams home viewing systems vs security cameras because of all their weaknesses. If a disgruntle older neighbor can do this, imagine what a young determined criminal might do.
Sorry, but I think your problem is something else. Do you have any wifi signal extenders in your house? If you don’t you may want to consider one so that the cameras are not losing signals. I don’t know how you are differentiating between when you think the signal is being jammed at the homebase vs. the camera. As I indicated previously, it would be extremely difficult to knock your homebase offline if it is hardwired via. ethernet cable. What indication do you have that your home base is offline? Check your home base setting to ensure that it is actually running on ethernet. The S380 can be set to either Ethernet or Wifi.
The app tells you when a camera is offline. It also tells you when homebase is offline. Homebase is wired. I literally have seen and listen to them talking about knocking it out. Homebase can be knocked offline; so can the cameras individually. We’ve tried an extender in the past but they would just knock it out too, so we gave up on that fairly quickly. What would be great is if they designed the cameras to automatically record while Homebase reboots. Also if they Implemented some sort of frequency hopping that would be great too. If they added some sort of AI cognitive learning technology where Homebase takes care of adapting its own signal to the environment, well that would be excellent. There are some routers that do that. I could list all the things they’ve done to attack these camera but I don’t want to give anyone ideas. The bottom line is wifi security technology has too many vulnerabilities and weaknesses to be reliable security cameras. If you don’t have disgruntle jerk neighbors, then your Homebase will work just fine until a criminal shows up with the knowledge to disrupt a signal and the younger generations have grown up on tech, so definitely more advance than some of us.
We just installed a new solar cam on a tree at the end of our driveway. We randomly hear radio feedback when we watch through the app.
I think you should seek help for your mental paranoia and delusions.
That’s interesting. Do you hear car radios or other cameras?
Idk. Just voices. At first we thought it was neighbors talking outside but no one is ever around when we hear it. Just static-y voices.
Oh wow. That’s very interesting. So your cameras radiowaves are somehow intercepting someone else radio waves maybe? It reminds of the olden days when you could hear someone’s else’s phone call on your stereo shelf system. It was funny to accidentally eves drop on my sister’s phone calls through my stereo unintentionally. Well I hope you put in a ticket. I hope you find a solution. Please do share the outcome. But wait, do you live around elderly people that might use bluetooth hearing aids? I read the other day that the NSA would not allow people in their buildings with Bluetooth hearing aids because they were a security risk. They somehow can be used to intercept conversations; perhaps the cams somehow could pick up bluetooth hearing aids conversations? Goodluck!
We don’t live in or near a senior community and idk if anyone around us has a hearing aid. Can any bluetooth activity/frequency affect any camera that’s connected to internet/wifi? Haven’t heard it in a few days. Not too worried about it at this point.
It’s simple, they set up 2.4ghz wifi device near the property line near the camera and turn it on as needed to create interference to The wifi signal. They also have a motion sensor set to our driveway that is wifi connected, so when we leave the wifi signal breaks the camera’s Eufy connection and the cameras don’t record. They also do this when snooping or when they walk in front of our house or they come and go. How they are knocking it completely offline … I’m not sure exactly how but i have guesses. The police is not going to do anything because you have to accept interference and proving they are causing it would be challenging. The reason I purchased the cameras to beginning with was because they were stalking and harassing me and trying to run me out of my home of 19 years. They also have person detection motion sensors beaming into my house, so they know when I’m awake or asleep. They are nasty vindictive people and my mistake was to ask why I was all of a sudden being followed. Turns out a spy cam was picking up my patio and they had motion sensors pointed at every door and almost all windows and my driveway. The police can’t do anything and they lie and deny everything. They manage to convince other neighbor that the Eufy cameras I bought were causing disruption to everyone’s wifis. Lastly the flood the channels so no matter what channel I’m on, there’s always interference. I move the homebase and get it working, they just adjust there’s to create interference. This happens every single day, morning, night and evening.
How?
Thank you Dr. LeviB for imparting your expertise on the subject matter.
From the sounds of your neighbours it seems more like you need to move than stop them knocking your camera’s offline…
Unfortunately they are a dime dozen. Nobody should move because their neighbors are bullies. That’s how they get away with this kind of stuff. Then they will do it to the next person. I’ve seen them run out too many people from their homes.
Put it this way, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are on here scanning forums to be nosey. They are those kind of creepy stalkers. All we can do is spray for them and move forward. They are broken people and kindness does work with them. They have control issues.
