It's the same concept of detecting vibrations, but obviously this method is using a camera and processing a video, while the "laser microphone" [0] measures the difference in distance traveled by the laser beam.

It would be interesting to compare the two methods in various scenarios, i.e. through glass.

Obviously the laser method will work at night while the video method will not (probably depends how "dark" it is).
