>> YEAH, SPOKE WITH A WOMAN WHO SAYS HER SUV WAS STOLEN RIGHT OUT IN HER DRIVEWAY WHEN SHE WENT BACK TO LOOK AT HER RING CAMERA FOOTAGE, HOURS ARE MISSING. AT THE SAME TIME HER CAR WAS STOLEN. AND I SPOKE WITH A LOCAL TECHNOLOGY EXPERT WHO SAYS THAT WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE. >> YOU SEE THEM ON ALMOST EVERY BLOCK, A RAIN OR SOME FORM OF DOORBELL CAMERA SYSTEM, THE SMALL HOME SECURITY DEVICE GAINING SIGNIFICANT POPULARITY OVER THE LAST DECADE. BUT AS THEIR USE HAS GROWN, SO HAS THE ABILITY OF HACKERS. IF YOU'RE LYING ON WHAT WAS TO BE A SECURITY THING YOU'RE LOOKING AT WRONG. CHRIS BURNS, THE OWNER OF TAKING GURU, SAYS SECURITY CAMERAS THAT USE WI-FI TO RECORD ARE MORE ABOUT CONVENIENCE THAN ACTUAL SECURITY. BECAUSE WI-FI CAN BE EASILY DISRUPTED, PREVENTING THE CAMERA FROM CAPTURING WHO IS AROUND YOUR HOME AND CRIMINALS ARE CATCHING ON A WOMAN IN DETROIT FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY WHEN SHE SAYS HOURS OF HER RING CAMERA FOOTAGE WE'RE MISSING DURING THE SAME TIME HER BLUE TRAILBLAZER WAS STOLEN FROM HER DRIVEWAY ON AUGUST 14TH. SIMILAR STORIES POPPING UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND BURNS SAYS HE KNOWS WHY WERE THOSE SIGNALS ARE VERY EASY TO JAM OR BLOCK BY USING A D AUTHOR OR WI-FI JAMMING DEVICE LIKE THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, AUTHOR WHICH CAN BE THE SIZE OF AN APPLE WATCH WILL OVERWHELM A WI-FI SYSTEM FORCING THE DOORBELL CAMERA TO STOP RECORDING. IF YOU STAY IN CLOSE ENOUGH, THE ACCESSORY ONLY COSTING ABOUT 10 TO 50 BUCKS AND CAN BE FOUND ON AMAZON FOR THE JAMMERS GOING TO COST YOU MAYBE $152,000 WAY TRYING TO DO AND IT'S HIGHLY ILLEGAL. SO IT'S MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND. BUT A POWERFUL JAMMER CAN PREVENT AN ENTIRE STREET FROM REPORTING ON ITS DOORBELL. SECURITY CAMERA WITH THE SWITCH OF A BUTTON. WE REACHED OUT TO RING ABOUT THE ISSUE AND A SPOKESPERSON SENT A STATEMENT SAYING, QUOTE, LIKE ANY WI-FI ENABLED DEVICE, WI-FI SIGNAL INTERFERENCE MAY AFFECT RING DEVICE PERFORMANCE. ITS CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH CONNECTIVITY. ENCOURAGE THEM TO REACH OUT TO RING CUSTOMER SUPPORT. SO HOW CAN CUSTOMERS PROTECT THEMSELVES FOR TRUE SECURITY SHOULD ALWAYS BE HARDWIRED ZONES BE PULLED INTO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. A SPOKESPERSON RENT BRING WENT ON TO SAY YES, THEY ARE WHERE THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT'S RARE. BUT THE TECHNOLOGY EXPERT I SPOKE WITH SAYS AS TIME GOES ON, THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL GET CHEAPER. SO JAMMERS BE COULD BECOME MORE POPULAR. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE >> BECOME MORE AWARE LIVE IN DETROIT. AND KEIR, HEY, 7 ACTION NEWS. YEAH, YOU KNOW, WE RELY ON
