Wi-Fi jammers

How is Arlo counteracting Wi-Fi jammers? I am very invested in the Arlo ecosystem with multiple cameras, doorbell and monthly subscription.

However, I don’t feel like staying loyal to it in the long run because they have not addressed a major flaw with their cameras - ie they can be jammed with cheap Wi-Fi jammers from eBay.

Even Nest has addressed this in the sense that if Wi-Fi connection is lost to the newest Nest outdoor camera, it will still record locally for upto an hour. Without something similar or a POE wired option, I feel like Arlo has a huge vulnerability.

I would tend to agree since most of the arlo camera products do not support on board storage.

Some arlo base stations do support backup storage but that is down stream of the wifi so no joy.

Going to wired cameras is the only solution if you want to eliminate the risk of wifi jamming although pointing a laser pen at the camera to destroy the CCD pickup chip is a concern.

You could hide the cameras and remove the arlo sticker labels to start with.
