Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

Just unplug the router and no internet access. ;)

That doesn’t solve anything. Your neighbors have security cameras too. They can share then with your parents. Your parents can watch video from other cameras if the neighborhood is on the same brand/network.

This varies with location. Our nearest neighbors are just shy on a mile away. Their cameras aren’t much good.

Good luck in my house, server is in a locked room and only way they can kill my cameras is by unplugging for 6 hours so the ups is depleted. Checkmate kids.

What UPS do you have that lasts 6 hours? Legitimately asking.

Or be like me, one of the few ppl still collecting music and storing it digitally. Whenever we lose internet it’s fine since I still have my local library of music, movies, and tv shows that I can play on any TV or device in the house. Just don’t shut off the router, unplug the internet and your good.

This assumes you have cell access. Not everywhere in the world does.
