I installed this system for a specific reason to keep know "problems" from happening or to prove who was responsible.  I have battled through the set up and got it running perfectly, now when the suspected culprit passes the camera it malfunctions. I  suspect a signal blocker how do I prevent the signal from being blocked?

If it's interference, there's no way to fix that.  You'd need a wired system to prevent that sort of problem.  You could try to locate the base station closer for a stronger signal or reposition the camera to place it further from the perp but if it's being jammed, all bets could be off.

I think my post above is the best you'll get.  How can you keep a signal from being blocked? Only buy using a technology that can't be blocked.

As mentioned, with the info given, there's not much to reply to... it will either work or it won't.

 

Not disbelieving you , but in my experience from this type of work, most times people think a "blocking" device is being used on them, it's usu another form of interference.

 

If you need it to work 100% and it isn't maybe you should consider a hard wired camera.
