The researcher is using  Naturalistic Observation method

This method observes and monitors characteristic in their own environment from the distance, it is mention that the researcher is using cameras which shows that they are not watching them directly. So they can have a clear observation of their behavior without any external influence

Other methods of research require more direct interaction and in some cases communication with the subject.

Answer:

Naturalistic Observation method is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Psychologists use various observation methods for carrying out research in psychology. The three major observation methods are Controlled , Naturalistic and participant. Naturalistic observations are used by social scientists and psychologists. In this technique the behaviour of participants in natural surrounding is observed, and whatever is seen is recorded.  The observations are cheap and require few resources. It is like studying the animals in their natural habitat. This method is less reliable because variables cannot be controlled and the study cannot be repeated in exact same way.
