Eye of Sauron: Long-Range Hidden Spy Camera Detection and Positioning with Inbuilt Memory EM Radiation

Learn about groundbreaking research in spy camera detection through this conference presentation from USENIX Security '24. Discover ESauron, an innovative system capable of detecting and locating various types of spy cameras by exploiting electromagnetic radiation patterns from their memory operations. Explore how the system leverages the electromagnetic signals produced during video data processing to achieve 100% detection accuracy across 50 different camera products, with an effective range exceeding 20 meters even through obstacles. Understand the technical principles behind detecting wireless, wired, and offline surveillance devices through their video capture processing signatures, presented by researchers from Hunan University, University of California San Diego, and Michigan State University in this 15-minute technical talk.
