You can download software to your phone that allows you to "clone" the frequency and signal of a device.

Once the frequency is captured (ie cloned) you can track the device, duplicate the signal and/or listen to a transmission.

That appears to be what he's attempting.

Here's a pro-tip that I might get in trouble for sharing.

In the old days we called them 'bounty hunters', but in modern vernacular they're trackers. Guys/Gals who trace 'wanted people' for a living.

In this era the public sector track operations are high tech.

Example. Remember, this is private sector.

Start with an APLR hit. [Automated License Plate Reader] That initiates a track/trace opportunity worth $$.

Once identified this helps locate the residence being used by the target.

In most homes there is a master bedroom. Most targets are found in this area within a residence.

At night, where do most people put their cell phones?

Usually on the night stand, next to the bed.

In many cases (the really easy ones), the night stand will be located next to the exterior wall of the residence.

It is very easy to look at a home from the street (or simply use google earth) and identify where the bedroom walls are. Specifically the master bedroom wall if that's the most likely location for the target.

It's then a real simple process to walk up to the exterior of the residence (usually at night) with a capture device and scan the wall for the cell phone signature.

The device will hone in proximity with a signal meter. Once ID'd you can capture the signal signature.

If the cell phone is near the wall, it's an easy capture. Only takes seconds. No-one even knows you're there. In/Out easy peasy.

After cell signal capture this allows tracker to monitor and trace the location of the target.

This information can be sold, and/or used directly to collect bounty by working with police to identify location of target.

This method is also used for illegal purposes by professional skimmers who can electronically rob you without ever going in your house.

So the lesson is,… when you go to sleep don't put your cell phone near the exterior wall of your home.

Currently (at least a year +/- ago) the private sector technology is still proximity specific. Meaning they need to be within a few feet for the capture to work.

The signal capture looks like what the dude in the video was attempting to do in person. That's how it relates.
