Not with radio jamming, but with an EMP you can disable wired devices too .

A spray paint or masking tape will have better, immediate effect.

Thanks for replying. I am going to install some wired cameras.

Well, an emp is so.ething to be worried, nor usual but it could happen. Maybe a Faraday cage could help minimize the impact.

There is shielded cable available. The U in UTP cable stands for unshielded for example.
