1. A smart device for use in a system comprising a plurality of smart devices, the smart device comprising:
one or more image sensors,
a communication device,
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
synchronize a time of one or more timers of the smart device or the image sensors among the plurality of smart devices, based on a protocol for time synchronization on wireless communication by using the communication device; and
control a timing of shutter opening and closing timing of each image sensor based on the synchronized time, wherein the timing is adjusted to keep consistent shooting time interval and phase, wherein the phase is a remainder obtained by dividing shooting time by the shooting time interval.
