Systems and methods for synchronized multi-angle video recording and playback

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations, the operations including:
• transmitting a trigger to initiate synchronized video recording across multiple video capture devices;
• causing each of the multiple video capture devices to begin recording respective videos from different angles of view using configuration parameters provided by the system in response to the trigger, wherein each of the multiple video capture devices:
• maintains a rolling buffer of locally stored recorded video data;
• and
• timestamps the respective videos using network-synchronized clock data;
• causing each of the multiple video capture devices to transfer their recorded videos to the system;
• and
• displaying the recorded videos from the multiple video capture devices in a synchronized multi-pane view based on the timestamps.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause operations to be performed, the operations including:

• transmitting a trigger to initiate synchronized video recording across multiple video capture devices;
• causing each of the multiple video capture devices to begin recording respective videos from different angles of view using configuration parameters provided in response to the trigger, wherein each of the multiple video capture devices:
• maintains a rolling buffer of locally stored recorded video data;
• and
• timestamps the respective videos using network-synchronized clock data;
• causing each of the multiple video capture devices to transfer their recorded videos;
• and
• displaying the recorded videos from the multiple video capture devices in a synchronized multi-pane view based on the timestamps.

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a server, at least first video data from a first angle of view from a first video capture device and at least second video data from a second angle of view from at least a second video capture device, wherein:
• the first video data includes a first recording start time obtained from a first reliable clock source;
• the second video data includes a second recording start time obtained from a second reliable clock source;
• and
• the first and second video capture devices operate independently without discovering each other;
• determining whether the first recording start time and the second recording start time occur within a predetermined time window;
• in response to determining the first and second recording start times occur within the predetermined time window:
• associating the first and second video data as belonging to a single multi-angle video capture session;
• and
• updating a database to link the first and second video data;
• synchronizing playback timing of the first and second video data based on their respective recording start times;
• and
• enabling synchronized playback of the first and second video data based on the synchronizing playback timing.
