Hmmm I leave my phone on cell data at night, my perimeter alarms are self contained and don’t use wifi, it would block my outbound notifications to the alarm company.
Wont stop .556 rounds…

Perhaps time to setup alarms which see multichannel jamming attempts ..

Typically the 30+ seconds my perimeter sensors would give me would be enough to wake, pull on shorts, grab SBR, before they crash the door.

Wayyyyyy back I used to be a volunteer fireman and paramedic. We had a little box beside the bed that would sound off 'tones" (called a plectron back in the day) if we got a call. I got used to laying out my jeans, slip on shoes, tshirt beside the bed, and even practiced. I could usually make it to the driveway before the first set of tones (30 seconds) stopped.
Its a pavlov's dog type response to this day

A lot of the jammers I have seen not only block Wifi, but Cell signal, and 800Mhz trunking systems that
public safety systems that the police and fire uses.

I remember the old 2 tone fire alert system.
The pager I had you could hear the signal really low all the time, and I got use to our tones
enough I would recognize them before the pager would alert.

Better see if your twisted pair copper from Ma Bell is still available. We ain't got nothing worth rippin off in this house...ffs. the biggest value might be the contents of the 6 ft. freezer. Or an Old Mr. Coffee? Perhaps a toaster.....

So let’s talk about that freezer ….

remember those cell boosters?
They have a tendency to jam alarm panels.

That is why you supposed to set up two different types of communications on an alarm panel.

All cell boosters are now to have an AGC (automatic gain control) to keep them from osculating and
causing interference all over the place. Now the Chinese ones that come in are a mixed bunch, most
of them only have a manual gain control.

You can get special security doors that take a long time to break down, I've posted these previously. They're steel cored and re-inforced and have safe style locks all the way around top, bottom and even hinge side. I suggest doing this if in a bad area. It doesn't stop people coming through a window, although there are films to making breaking through them harder, but the point is, keep them outside making noise trying and for those in the US, you get time to be prepared inside.

Other option if they haven't cut your cables is to make a VOIP call to the police over the internet or have a radio of some time - CB / amateur etc.
