The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it has developed a four-legged robot designed to jam the wireless transmissions of smart home devices. The robot was revealed at the 2024 Border Security Expo and is called NEO. It is built using the Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Q-UGV) and looks a lot like the Boston Dynamics Spot robot.
According to the transcript of the speech by DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) director Benjamine Huffman, acquired by 404 Media, NEO is equipped with an antenna array that is designed to overload home networks, thus disrupting devices that rely on Wi-Fi and other wireless communication protocols. It will thus likely be effective against a wide range of popular smart home devices that use wireless technologies for communications.
Jokes on them, Uptime Kuma pings my doorbell cams every 5 seconds and starts the self-destruct sequence if they aren’t reachable.
Apart from the fact that I don’t believe you :) What would your self-destruct routine actually destroy?
Certainly not any evidence, as that would be illegal
It actually only checks every 30 seconds and sends an email if it fails for 3 minutes. But don’t tell the feds.
