Timestamp on Video Recordings
I am in a "dispute" with my municipality about who put trash on the curb in front of my building. I have camera videos with the trash on the curb on the date I moved in. I can download the videos to my phone and share them with the municipal government. The problem is that the videos do not contain the date and time so they have to take my word for it as to when they were recorded. Is there any way to add the date and time to the video files themselves to make things simpler?

+1. This is an obvious feature that should have been done day one. Please.
It's been at least six years and still not done.

It does need to be done, adt, ring and even eufy does it and there is no subscription fees for eufy and they have this feature. I would love to hear beep front door as well but we will not get that either even though it does it in test mode smh

Would be nice as all others do it, ring, nest or Google, eufy, reolink, tp link tapo cameras. It would be a nice feature but I'm not dying to have this one as much as having the sensors announced which is coming soon. Yyaaayy

I also agree it would be advantageous to have a video time stamp. I see this has been something that people have been requesting for a while now.
Hope that another person showing interest will help this request to be worked on.

This is abhorrent that this thread has been going on for over 2 years and Simpli Safe is aware and they have done nothing to remedy this critical oversight? What good is a video without a date and time stamp! The state attorney needs this video to criminally prosecute my domestic violence case next week and they are telling me that the court won't accept these videos now as evidence because there is no date or time stamp! You should be ashamed Simpli Safe. I bought your product to keep my son and I safe after the death threats against both of our lives in this domestic violence case and now there is a good chance that the courts won't be able to protect us because your damn videos can't be used as evidence. If something happens to my son or myself our blood is on your hands!! I hope you are proud of yourselves!

Add my voice to those clamoring for date/time stamps on the video stream and recordings. I have video systems from Unifi and Abode that both have date/time capability, and have had it for years. This feature enhancement (actually should be a requirement!) was voiced OVER THREE YEARS AGO! It's disgraceful that SimpliSafe has ignored such a critical function for that long. Had I been paying attention when I first looked at SimpliSafe, I would not have purchased it.

It is very apparent that Simplisafe is not going to add the date time feature to their
cameras. Which makes the cameras it useless for my needs. Thanks to the people on this thread for bringing this critical lack of functionality to my attention.
