Break-in suspects using cell-jamming technology to avoid surveillance cameras

WBTV reports that CMPD has discovered instances where thieves have skillfully circumvented surveillance cameras during home break-ins, thanks to their use of technology.
Cell-jamming is the term used to describe the interference caused by an individual using a device to disrupt radio or wireless signals.
The Federal Communications Commission has made it clear that intentionally using a phone jammer, GPS blockers, or any other signal jamming device to interfere with authorized radio communications is a violation of federal law. It is essential to recognize that this prohibition applies without exception, regardless of whether it is within a business, classroom, residence, or vehicle.
Cell-jamming is possible from a device roughly 30 feet from the target, or household security cameras.


In a south Charlotte community, a video has emerged showing a suspect surreptitiously navigating through a yard during the nighttime. It is worth mentioning, though, that not all incidents have been captured on camera.
John Shocknesse, VP of Customer Operations for CPI Security, highlighted the need to address potential interference with wireless devices and the importance of implementing strategies to prevent communication disruptions.
In a split second, someone might show up on camera, but the presence of cell-jamming enables their swift disappearance through the mere act of flipping a switch or pushing a button.
In south Charlotte, CMPD has identified this as a recurring problem during residential burglaries.
Shocknesse acknowledged the lack of any such activity, highlighting the significance of being vigilant and equipped with the latest technology.
WBTV sought his opinion on which devices are more prone to cell-jamming.
Shocknesse pointed out that the issue arises primarily with older wireless devices that lack encryption.
He stated that newer security systems and surveillance systems are built with improved technology, such as encryption, to provide heightened security.
Shocknesse pointed out the critical role of cameras and onboard recording in ensuring that events are documented and can be provided to law enforcement if needed.
Additionally, he recommended that the most efficient way to prevent cell-jamming is to utilize up-to-date technology with encryption and to use a wired device instead of relying on Wi-Fi.
Effective measures to prevent break-ins at home include maintaining proper lighting, utilizing alarm systems, and ensuring that bushes are trimmed to a maximum height of three feet.
