This is why you don't use wifi cams for real security...they're fine for a baby monitor or low-value areas, but not for real security.

Ha, they would have a shock if they came here. There's nothing worth stealing
Actually it reminds me of when car alarms were self fitted in the UK. I used to swap the window sticker with a friend for a different type to catch out the thieves who had figured out how each alarm worked. I've no idea if it worked as they never tried to steal my car. Probably because that wasn't worth the effort either

They have been known to shut off the power to the house too.

If they did that in my house the alarm would go off!

When my present project has been completed, my house would run off of the batteries if they did that
