1. A method for location identification and tracking of a person, object and/or vehicle, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing system, a video of a surrounding environment which was captured by a portable camera coupled to the person, object or vehicle;
comparing, by the computing system, first images of the video to pre-stored second images to identify geographic locations where the first images were captured by the portable camera;
analyzing, by the computing system, the identified geographic locations to verify that the person, object or vehicle is (1) traveling along a correct path, (2) traveling towards a facility for which the person, object or vehicle has authorization to enter, (3) traveling towards a zone or secured area internal or external to the facility for which the person, object or vehicle has authorization to enter, or (4) located in or in proximity to a facility, zone or secured area for which the person, object or vehicle has authorization to enter; and
