The video surveillance system is a key component of the technologies deployed in smart cities. It serves a variety of applications, including public safety, crime prevention, traffic management, and environmental monitoring. The data captured by these systems includes sensitive information related to privacy, crime and national security, requiring robust protection against data breaches to ensure confidentiality. In this paper, we introduce a video fingerprinting-based method that uses a timestamp and device number, intended to prevent and detect image manipulation or replacement of original images with copies during transmission and of receiving the monitored data. Additionally, we propose the use of a blockchain system with an immutable distributed ledger for traceability and auditing of authentication procedures.
