Why would you buy a wireless security camera when inherently, radio transmission is easily tampered with ? e.g. https://www.perfectjammer.com/power-adjustable-super-high-power-desktop-jammers.html
would not be suitable to protect anything of serious value, right ?

noix_rougeFor the same reason that people install door locks when they can be easily picked or broken. All security is a trade-off. In this case, lower overall cost and ease-of-installation is a big factor, and in exchange you pay for it with the lower inherent security of wifi. I think this is more for residential folks who want to keep an eye on things and have the camera act as a certain measure of casual deterrence, not to secure an impenetrable bunker against determined attack.

noix_rougeMuch like locks, most crimes against homes are by the lowest common denominator. As much as I abhor that my apartment building uses 4 pin locks on my front door, the common criminal isn't going to be picking it. Instead, they're looking for a window to break. It's really the same with bicycle locks and whatnot where bolt cutters are more common than lock picks. All the same, they're not carrying around jammers.
My eufycam has proven beneficial. It caught building maintenance staff entering my apartment with no notification nor permission.
So who should avoid stuff like this? People who are at risk of more high end crimes. Chances are they're not looking for the cheaper easier solutions and are getting something professional, installed by professionals, because they can afford it.
