But since it can't "jump network air gaps" unless the camera is already infected, its far less dangerous than it might seem at first. Here's the video:
The basic idea has already been commercialized:

Sep 20, 2017The wide body of attacks starts with the assumption the attacker has already infected the target with malware. The research shows that air-gaps alone aren't always sufficient for ensuring an attacker can't transfer data into and out of mission-critical networks. Countermeasures against the aIR-Jumper include placing surveillance cameras in restricted zones that are optically inaccessible to attackers.
