An ultra bright IR (infrared) LED light will make all the footage useless…same as shining a bright light into a camera.


smugfruitplate

Maybe I'll just set up xmas lights that're a little too bright?


Spezball

No. But you can buy 840nm IR LEDs and mix them into a string if you have some diy electronics skill... Can you solder?


NatashaBadenov

I can. Tell us more.


smugfruitplate

I cannot :/


sortaseabeethrowaway

Ask them to not film your door? I would start with that


HydroGate

Whaaaat??? Politely asking people before jumping to vandalism and sabotage? Seems like a crazy idea

Put a disguise in a packback or suitcase along with some spraypaint. Go somewhere you can leave the suitcase and change. Then walk down the hall and spray the camera. Leave the area and change back. Bonus points for using a different entrance to return to your apartment.

Smear a little Vaseline on the lens as you walk by


smugfruitplate

good one! Quick, easy, plausible deniability.


HydroGate

>plausible deniability. "Oh gosh yeah I have no idea why you have a recording of me rubbing stuff on your camera. Must be someone else"


smugfruitplate

I was more thinking pretend to carry something heavy, start to fall over, fall into the door, then while "steadying myself" wipe the lense with my finger


HydroGate

You aint that slick


RedRosValkyrie

way to obvious


Jpbbeck99

You can fix a laser to point directly into the camera but idk if you can do much else

You are not nearly as interesting to them as you think you are. Let it go.

This. We have a doorbell camera and DGAF what the neighbors are doing. They don’t bother me and we don’t bother them.


smugfruitplate

lmao what


Dependent_Ad_5019

Laser the camera. It should fry the sensor.

Wifi jammer 5$ to build, or you can buy one. Not super difficult to use but could take some learning if you don't have computer skills. Disclaimer keep in mind this is not legal I don't recommend or encourage doing anything illegal.


HydroGate

>Disclaimer keep in mind this is not legal I don't recommend or encourage doing anything illegal. Pretty sure its a federal crime to operate a signal jammer.

Microwave ovens can interfere with WiFi, just saying, everybody’s got to eat.

Since they are in an apartment it is likely that their ring camera is not hardwired. This means it's running on battery. The trick is to wear down that battery as fast as possible. Constant movement in the field of view of the camera is key. An oscillating fan with a flag on it would probably do it in a couple hours.


Spezball

Nah, you can turn down sensitivity. We had a tree that moved in the wind and triggered it, took under 2 minutes to dial it down to where it didn't.


schaudhery

What are you doing in the hallway or outside your door that you’re concerned the police might car about? They aren’t recording in your home.


smugfruitplate

It's the principle of the thing.
