Feature Request - Jammer Detection

I use my Arlo camera system on my Orbi network.  I have always been concerned about about people being able to defeat my cameras (or network based security in general) by simply jamming.  Recent news is now reporting how this is actually happening in several areas.  On the Orbi side - can a feature be added that could detect suspected jamming and/or excessive interference and notify me, maybe through an app?

 

This is also a question I will be asking Arlo since the cameras, even if they are on the Arlo hub hard wired to my router, use wi-fi.

 

Thanks

  • Apart from "Hey. WiFi isn't working." I am not aware of any such mechanism.  Jamming WiFi would eliminate an app from receiving notices.

     

    I believe Arlo cameras feature local SD card storage, so motion events and notifications may not reach the Arlo "Cloud", but they should remain on the camera.
