CameraTrace Traces Stolen Cameras

CameraTrace Traces Stolen Cameras

CameraTrace might help you trace your camera. CameraTrace is a service that will help you track down your stolen or lost camera. It does this by scanning popular photo-sharing sites like Flickr and extracting camera serial numbers from the EXIF metadata contained in the photos.
Then, when your camera goes missing, you use CameraTrace to track down any photos taken with it. If these images also have GPS coordinates embedded in them, you're golden. If not, you'll need to do a little detective work to track things down.

Despite just launching publicly, CameraTrace has already had some success through its test and data-gathering stages.
