It links up to license plate readers, 911 calls and other NYPD data records.

Researchers at University College of London have applied principles of radar used in defense and designed a detector using home based Wi-Fi routers to spy on people across walls. Using the principles behind the Doppler effect they have built a prototype unit that uses Wi-Fi signals and recognizes frequency changes to detect moving objects.
