How to Find your Lost or Stolen Digital Camera Online

 

 

A digital camera is not like our phones, which we can track by providing our IMEI to the police or network providers, who can then block the phone from being used further.

 

Misplacing your digital camera is another story altogether, seeing that you might forget it at the last place you visited, but what do you do when it’s been stolen by an unknown person?

 

The most exciting part of the gist is that I am going to show you how to recover your lost or stolen camera with ease. You might ask, Is that even possible? And the answer is YES.

 

The central truth about any digital camera is that they all come with EXIF data, which is like a unique serial number for your camera.

 

However, the tool we’re about to use has a series of disadvantages and advantages, just as most free tools work, disadvantages in the sense that it doesn’t support all digital cameras and others which we’re going to highlight below:

 

1. Find your camera with the photos taken with it
2. Also tracks with Serial Number
3. Tracks your digital camera with an Internal Serial Number
4. And tracks with an Image Unique ID

 

 

 

You’ll need to upgrade to get more tracking options.

 

1. Doesn’t support all digital camera versions – check supported versions here (https://www.stolencamerafinder.com/listmodels)
2. Works well if you or the camera thief posts the pictures taken with the camera somewhere online.
3. The camera must support EXIF record.s

Now that you’ve seen how it works, let’s recover our lost digital camera as soon as possible.

 

1. Firstly, launch your browser and navigate to the Stolen Camera Finder homepage – www.stolencamerafinder.com
2. You’ll find a box where you can select or drop an image taken by the digital camera.
3. Once you choose or drop a photo, Stolen Camera Finder will automatically start searching for other images on the Web based on the EXIF data. If they find anything, you will see results.
4. Even if you don’t find any photos, you still get to see the details of your digital camera that they are using to track down other images that were taken with the same camera.

 

 

One thing to remember, the photo that you drop or submit to Stolen Camera Finder must be an original, non-edited photo, this is to make sure that the EXIF data remains with the photo. Some photo editors will wipe away these details.

That’s all.

 

In conclusion, Stolen Camera Finder allows you to track and locate your lost digital camera. Still, if the user never uploads a photo taken with the camera to the Internet, you will not be able to find it with this web service.
