Signal jammer used by a burglar to neutralise an alarm system

A simple electronic case is now enough to neutralise your alarm system and render your entire security installation unusable. A closer look at a threat that calls the effectiveness of traditional security solutions into question.

What the investigation reveals

Source: TF1 Info

The article highlights a burglary technique on the rise:

  • Accessible signal jammers: these devices, easy to obtain, cut the communication between alarm sensors and the control panel
  • A method described as “easy” by the burglars themselves
  • The use of drones as a complement, to scout locations and identify weaknesses before intrusion
  • Vulnerable systems targeted: radio (wireless) alarms and Wi-Fi-connected cameras

Why your equipment is exposed

As a security expert, here is the technical assessment:

  • Radio alarm = radio signal = interceptable and jammable
  • Wi-Fi camera = dependent on the wireless network = remotely disableable
  • Result: a system that appears active... but is in reality blind and silent during the intrusion

The problem is not the quality of the brand, it is the transmission technology itself.

The First Sécurité et Prévention solution

Faced with this structural flaw, we made a radical choice, in line with law enforcement recommendations:

Wired cameras only

  • No radio signal to intercept
  • No jamming possible
  • A physical, stable and tamper-proof transmission

Remote voice challenge

  • Presence detected before anyone even approaches the building
  • A dissuasive voice message triggered in real time
  • The burglar is spotted and put to flight before reaching the home or business
