Northeastern University researchers have developed a way to access video feeds from home security, dashboard, and smartphone cameras through walls.
The EM Eye technique detects electromagnetic radiation emitted by the cameras' wires using a radio antenna, decodes the signal, and uses machine learning to reproduce real-time video without sound at a similar quality as the original.
A test on 12 different types of cameras revealed that, depending on the model, EM Eye could successfully eavesdrop within a range of up to 16 feet.
