camera / cellphone jamming

[luke viia]

do any watmmers know much about jamming radio signals, wireless signals, wireless video etc?

 

i'm interested in the idea of being able to remotely interfere with devices, particularly stuff like memoto's "lifelogger" camera but also just jamming devices in general

 

entertain me and tell me what you know pls

A shady friend of mine has a jammer. No idea how he got it but you can buy them online. Works really well to completely block out any wireless and cellphone signal in the house.

 

Edit: I think it's this one: http://www.globalgadgetuk.com/personal.html

Why do you want to do that?

[Ego]

Paranoia, disabling possible spying gear within your house, blocking communications so people don't spend all their time with their head in the cloud.. I think it should be legal to do as long as the blocking doesn't reach beyond your property.

I think in some territories it's illegal to jam cellphones. Might be wrong there, though.

 

as for jamming cameras, the only way you'll stop a picture from being taken / video being filmed is if you have an EMP nearby. Or you hulk smash the camera, or take away it's power source.

I'd say most if not all territories it'd be illegal - what if someone tried to call emergency services but a tin hat wearing twunt downstairs thought he'd l33t h4xx0r the building with his jammer.

i'm just interested in what can be done, crikey. not trying to haxxor people at a distance just to troll them or stop them from calling emergencies, etc. i'm not at all interested in jamming good people's communications, just maybe a 7-10 meter radius around me in my own home at times (to experiment with the devices), i dunno, again, was interested if anybody here had played with the rf jammers available (thanks ego!)

 

though i mostly wanted to know if it's possible to disable cameras somehow besides just shining a lazer at someone's memoto or hulk smashing it, which i will not be doing, of course -- and if it's not possible now, does anyone have a reason to believe it might be possible in the future?

 

and i agree with ego that being able to stop communications on your own property should be legal

just throw a load of jam over your phone. that'll block it up real nice.
