As to jamming wireless security devices or defeating security systems
for that matter...

You will find that where defeating a security system is easy, there is
not much financial gain for a thief and the typical thief would not be
very smart (google dumb criminals). Like a drug addict or homeless
person. They might break into a typical home and be looking for
something they could sell at a pawn shop for $20 or $50.

So your typical crook breaking into a home is not going to know how to
defeat an alarm or even care. If they did know how to do this, then
they would instead have a well paying job!

For smart crooks who might know how to defeat an alarm, they are going
to go for a greater financial gain (something other than a home). BUT,
where items of greater value are stored, the level of security
increases. There may be "duplication" of detection devices. Perhaps
wireless along with wired. Or multiple frequency devices.

Then if it is something *really important*, there is no way anyone is
going to defeat the alarm. There are some systems which are so
complex, many of the employees at the alarm company don't understand
how they work!

This Hollywood "bypass the alarm with a couple of jumper wires" is a
lot of nonsense! The people working at the alarm company would not
know how to do this, let alone a crook.

And for *really important* stuff, they also add physical layer
security. You start seeing bars on windows or no windows. Solid
concrete walls. Vaults, etc.

And beyond that they add 24 hour armed guards/dogs.

Beyond that, "specially trained" 24 hour armed guards (don't piss
these people off! They are scary just to look at! Make me nervous just
to be in the same room with one...)

As to the private sector (non-government) systems, this all goes by
insurance companies and historical losses. If there are a lot of
losses (thefts), then the insurance companies will begin requiring
higher levels of security. The required level of security will
increase more and more until the losses are reduced or stopped.

And since insurance companies do not want to pay out money, they make
darn sure the levels of security are appropriate for the specific
situation.

So if someone could defeat an alarm and this begins happening, then
the insurance companies would react and require a higher level of
security. They would not allow the losses to continue.

Simple as that!
