Abstract:
A method and system for synchronizing camera footage from a plurality of cameras includes providing a database of cameras, accessible via a user device, which stores a correction associated with each camera to a date/time in metadata associated with footage recorded by the camera, to facilitate synchronization of footage recorded by each camera to an actual date/time. The stored correction is applied to camera(s) to determine an adjusted date/time in the metadata corresponding to footage recorded at a particular date and time; and the footage for the camera(s) is synchronized to the particular date and time, based on the adjusted date/time determined from the correction. Cameras for synchronization are identified based on location stored in the database. A list of identified cameras may be exported with a case or UserID, and locations, adjusted metadata for synchronization, and bases for the correction calculation. The list is optionally generated via mapping functions.
