1. A computer-implemented method for multi-monitor automatic audio feed adjustment, the method comprising:
receiving captured video and audio feeds from surveillance/security cameras;
displaying at least one of the captured videos in at least one monitor in a multi-monitor setup;
continuously analyzing a captured live video stream to detect one or more monitors in the multi-monitor setup;
determining a currently viewed monitor in the multi-monitor setup using one or more computer vision techniques further comprising:
dynamically detecting more than one monitor's displays of their distinct signature marks and timing/intervals of their flashes in the captured live video stream;
determining a distance between a center of a wearable camera capturing the live video stream and at least one screen center of at least one of the more than one monitor; and
determining a monitor in the more than one monitor that is the currently viewed monitor based on a closest distance from the center of the wearable camera to the at least one screen center of at least one of the more than one monitor; and
automatically outputting either a one-way or two-way audio feed that is synchronized with a video feed that corresponds with the currently viewed monitor.
