Well, tampers with external bell boxes have been fairly common on commercial and high end domestic for a while. Masking detectors in commercial isn't unheard of either. There are more intelligent criminals about.
I do wonder what causes people to totally misrepresent the argument of the other party. The only person convinced they are right is them. It's really strange.
"A simple OOK transmitter, modulated using a 555 timer would do the job for proactive jamming."
That's not impossible.
"It sounds like alarms should be triggered by proactive jamming, doesn’t it?
Strangely enough, a lot aren’t. This goes from cheap consumer alarms all the way up to graded...
Paul - what's most disturbing is that you've taken to fabricating things to make your point.
Most people would be best to install a proper lock on their gate, rather than a padlock.
It's pointless for most people to buy a big padlock for their garden gate, as it will cost a lot more than a...

I'm not asking you to replace the alarm, I'm asking if you if the security risks presented by those...
So John, would you install these in your house?

Drones? No, I have absolutely no idea why you think I think that.
Jammers? No, I have no idea, and I don't suspect so, as I explicitly state in the original blog post.
Is unintentional jamming a problem? Yes.
The point is it is possible to do this, and good design would mean that it isn't. As...
