Your security camera captures everything—except the one thing you need most: the time it happened. When you need to prove exactly when an event took place, most camera clips leave you guessing. No timestamp. No documentation. No proof. Time Stamp Adder burns a clear, accurate timestamp into every frame of your video in seconds—so the date and time travel with the footage wherever it goes. WORKS WITH YOUR CAMERAS Built for Blink home security cameras, with support for DJI drones, Lorex, Ring, and virtually any video on your iPhone or iPad. For Blink clips, the recording time is detected automatically from the file name. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a video from your photo library—or share it straight from the Blink app. 2. The app reads the recording time and previews your timestamp. 3. Tap once to burn it in, then save or share. FEATURES • Automatic time detection from Blink file names • Adjust the detected time before you stamp, so it's always accurate • Camera and location labels (like "Front Door") above the timestamp—auto-filled for Blink clips • Multiple date and time formats: 12- or 24-hour, US, ISO, and more • Time-zone control for footage recorded elsewhere • Place the timestamp anywhere: any corner, an edge, or a full-width bar • Custom font size, color, stroke, and background • Even-width digits, so the time never jitters as the seconds tick by • High-quality, visually lossless output • Keep using your phone while videos process in the background—we'll notify you the moment they're ready PERFECT FOR • Insurance claims and evidence documentation • Security and property records • Knowing exactly when an event occurred • Sharing footage that speaks for itself Footage without a date is just a clip. Add the proof. Questions or an idea for the app? We'd love to hear from you—reach out any time.
