Title: Camera ID identifier
Post by: Johan7777 on September 22, 2016, 07:42:05 AM
Been looking all morning, is there a command line in exiftool to identify camera ID for video MOV files?
In  my case, how to spot a difference between two iPhones' MOV videos, or see if two videos belong to the same iPhone? Thank you.

I don't know if the information you want exists, but I recommend using this command on videos from two different phones then comparing the out.txt files to see what the differences are:

exiftool -a -u -G1 FILE > out.txt

Comparing files doesn't show any difference. There are some tags that require using -b option to extract, but when I do it's unreadable.
Everything of the camera of iPhone 6s is very detailed but no serial number. Wonder if possible at all.
Thanks.

I looked into this before for a specific iPhone and iOS version, and didn't find anything that could identify the specific phone.

I'm looking for the same. Have there been any changes since 2016, when this post was posted?
I can probably sort most out by looking at camera model, but some friends have same model and an ID would have been nice to distinguish between them.

As far as I know, this situation has not changed.
