Can a tiny 433 MHz remote stop a SimpliSafe system? Rumor has it that DIY security systems like SimpliSafe are prone to signal jamming from cheap devices like these. In this week's Ask SafeWise, Katie tries the trick for herself and busts some myths about hacking SimpliSafe.
On this week’s Ask SafeWise, we test one of these rumors for ourselves and explore how common signal jamming is among home security systems and what you can do to discourage attacks on your own home.
How easy is that to do and how can you keep your security system safe from sneaks?
✅ Tip 1: Avoid using the branded home security sign that comes with your system. Advertising what you use gives hackers a lead on how to jam your system. Opt for generic signage instead.

✅ Tip 2: Add cameras to your home security system to give you context to what your system senses.
✅ Tip 3: Use secure passwords for your home WiFi and change them regularly.
