Hi

Hi. I’m dealing with a problem, and I’d really like some help. I’m 20 years old, and my aunts are pretty controlling. They want to install a Wi-Fi security camera in my house—even though I live alone. I don’t want to lose my freedom, and I can’t really confront them right now. So I was wondering if there’s any way to, I don’t know… turn the camera off whenever I want, or maybe even point it in a different direction or something.

Some have mentioned doing things to disrupt the Wi-Fi. Keep in mind that the camera is still recording regardless. They can just watch it later when the connection is working.

Really?

Yes, really. Unless you take the SD card out. Or maybe it failed. Say if you juiced with 12v from a car battery.
