I like to imagine an entire building made of glass or acrylic.

It's actually pretty easy to see if someone is using WiFi to monitor a building. The hard part is nailing down exactly where they are if it's not inside your building.

Looking at the components they added to the drone they would be about $20 shipped off Amazon resellers and about $10 or less shipped from AliExpress. Probably what was said before journalistic purple monkey dishwasher happened.

The board they used is called ESPCam on Aliexpress, it's an ESP32 with a microsd slot and a connector for a camera.
Edit: Those are a bit more expensive since they come with a Camera module

There's an ESP32 on there too, but those go for around ā¬2, so it doesn't add much.

I checked on Aliexpress, all parts together cost roughly 10ā¬ including shipping. ESPCAM ~7ā¬, ESP8266 1.25ā¬, Voltage Regulator 1.40ā¬

Can we stop with these BS articles yet? Not only is the title misleading, just about everything here is lies and/or deception. That's not how any of this really works.

No he's saying his router can already "see" everything going on in his house (from a wifi standpoint) so if you get access to it, you get access to the same information.
And the answer is, not quite, as you can't get multiple points of measurement of directional signals from a router in a single spot.

I know for a certainty, all 5G devices are WiFi enabled, then you've got all the non-5G devices and non-cellular devices like smart watches, printers, laptops/PCs, Alexas, ring doorbells etc.

Only with 5g capable devices and only if you have remote access to the network. So actually not easier

We would be better off if they didnāt tell everyone about their invention and how you could make one.

A lot of it is legal restrictions. The laws that were written to control how they are allowed to share information were written at a time when fax was normal. They didn't include rules for more "recent" communication methods.

Too bad the g9 has bad pixel density.. Iād really like a 5k2k monitor. I love my g9 Neo, but you put it next to a 5k2k and you realize what youāre missing.

Misleading headline. Itās more like all Wi-Fi enabled devices can be located in a house. Itās not actually able to see people , pets. furniture, etc.through walls that do not have devices connected to them.

It's not the amplitude of signal strength. Time of flight uses a precise timestamp in the data packet from the exact moment when the packet is emitted, and you use the time elapsed between the initial timestamp and when you got the message, divided by the expected physical speed of propagating the signal through space, to estimate distance from the transmitter to the receiver.
