AI-aided Hidden Camera Detection and Localization based on Raw IoT Network Traffic

This paper proposes a novel scheme to detect and localize the spy cameras based on AI algorithm based raw traffic analytics, named AI-aided Hidden Camera Locator (AHCL). In AHCL, the video streaming data are filtered via the SVM (support vector machine) algorithm to quickly monitor whole raw network traffic from a router to the networks first. Then, gathered traffic data are denoised by the Denoising Autoencoder (DAE) technique to improve the data quality of classification for localization, where a camera transmits video streaming. Based on the proof-of-concept implementation, the proposed scheme can achieve 99.5% positioning accuracy of camera detection with the Ensemble Neural Networks (NNs).
