Right, the aura is not needed, but it is not clear whether video footage works. You need a mental image of the target, technically a video feed can only generate a mental image of the video image of the target. Not sure if that is enough.
All you need is a mental description. You can describe a book in a library, for example, and that works even if you haven't seen the book. You can also use a photograph.
Basically, having your aura seen is no more dangerous than having your face caught on film. In some ways, it's less dangerous, since you can't hand out mug shots of someone's aura or search for it on the Matrix.
