Publication number: 20210383841Abstract: A camera video transmission and playback system includes a camera and a viewing device. The camera generates and records first video data including a plurality of image frames with time stamps synchronized on an external network, and simultaneously transmits the first video data to the viewing device via the external network. The viewing device displays the first video data transmitted from the camera via the external network, simultaneously records the first video data as second video data, and periodically calculates a round trip time in packet transmission to and from the camera. When receiving a marker assigning command from the viewing device via the external network, the camera assigns a marker to one of the plurality of image frames with a time stamp indicating a time corrected based on the round trip time in the first video data that is captured by and is being recorded in the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Yoshinori NAKASHIMA, Shin'ya TAKEDA, Yukiko YAMAMOTO, Taketoshi OCHI
