Just re the apparently missing time segments on that video: I think the police would have edited those out. The camera does NOT look to be motion activated to me, as there are long periods of no movement, but it is still recording. And on a busy street like Sydney Rd, it would continually be flicking in and out of record mode all day and night.
I suspect the police have either edited out some boring bits, or some bits they think may be crucial but don't yet want the public to see, for whatever reason.
And I wonder if they have noticed that Jill stops again right at the end of that clip - one would presume they have.
One other point re the times and syncing etc - phones will usually sync to the network time, so would be accurate. In fact the most accurate clock you have in your possession is probably your phone. The CCTV would probably take its time from the recording computer, which would be connected to the 'net for both control purposes and remote management. Via the net, it would sync to a system called NTP (Network Time Protocol) just like your computer does. It's pretty accurate, although there may be a few hundredths of a second discrepancy between the phone network time and the computer NTP time. But mostly, they would be in sync to all intents and purposes.
