Stolen Camera Finder by Matt Burns is a simple website that can track down a
lost or stolen camera by searching online for the camera’s serial number in the
Exif data embedded in many digital photos. The site has a growing database of
serial numbers mapped to photos posted online–more than one million cameras
have been identified.
Every photo you take with your digital camera contains hidden information about
both the image and the camera such as the make, model and date. This
information, called exif data, can also include a unique serial number which
identifies your camera. stolencamerafinder crawls the internet searching for
photos, collecting the serial numbers of the cameras that took them. When you
use the drag & drop feature, stolencamerafinder reads the unique serial number
from the exif data of your photo and uses it to match against serial numbers it
has stored.
