It gets set by the RTP receiving code, when it receives RTCP "SR" packets.

If, however, the RTP receiving code doesn't receive any RTCP "SR" packets (e.g., because the sender does not implement RTCP), then "hasBeenSynchronizedUsingRTCP()" will never return True.

Does your camera stream audio as well as video?  If it streams only video, then I'm not sure what 'syncs' could mean.

If, however, your camera streams both audio and video, then it must implement RTCP, otherwise receiving client will never be able to synchronize audio and video.

So in short: Does your camera send RTCP packets?
