They appear to be using a somewhat costly handheld thermal camera, which likely has a FLIR Boson or equivalent sensor. Those are pretty bulky and expensive, making it hard to use this attack without hanging out near the keyboard/keypad you want to surveil.

A FLIR Lepton series[0], or similar, is much smaller, but still ~$160/ea., and even though it is "smaller", it's not as easy to hide in an ATM as a cheap pinhole camera. It is also much lower resolution and has lower thermal sensitivity. Which would most likely greatly reduce the places where you could deploy this equip in a leave-behind covert setup.

It looks like a neat proof of concept, but probably not a day to day risk the average person needs to be concerned about.

Yes, you're much more likely to have a regular camera installed on the ATM or keypad. Night vision makes it work at all times. Or you can instrument a keypad with a laser sensor overlay.

The IR camera is used to defeat obscured keypads only...
