Tesla-Cam-Timer: Add precise timestamps to Tesla dashcam videos

As a tool dedicated to enhancing the Tesla owner experience,Tesla Camera Timer Addressing the lack of intuitive timestamps in Tesla dashcam video files to make video management and forensic analysis more convenient.

🎯 What is Tesla-Cam-Timer?

Tesla Camera Timer It is a practical software tool that automatically captures video files recorded by your TeslaCam or Sentry Mode.Add an accurate timestamp overlayAlthough Tesla vehicles embed timestamps in file names, when watching videos directly in the player, the screen does not display the time information.The date and time of capture will not be displayed.This proves inconvenient when video is needed as evidence or simply to organize memories. This project employs technical means to directly “engrave” time information onto the video footage.

🔧 Key Features and Functions

Although I was unable to obtain the specific code and documentation for this project, tools of this kind typically possess the following core functionalities:

• Timestamp OverlayCore functionality: Automatically extracts precise shooting times from video metadata or other information, then overlays them as text at specific positions on the video frame (such as the upper-right or lower-left corner).
• batch processing capabilityTypically supports batch processing of entire folders or video files spanning multiple time periods, enhancing efficiency.
• Time Format CustomizationYou may be able to customize the display format of timestamps (for example YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
• Fixing time zone issuesSome tools also help correct or standardize a video's time zone information to ensure accurate timing.
• Easy to useThese types of projects typically provide a simple command-line interface or user documentation tailored for technically savvy users.

👤 Who is it suitable for?

• Drivers who prioritize driving safetyIf you wish for the recorded video to provide time-stamped evidence when needed (such as for determining liability in traffic accidents).
• Car owners who enjoy documenting and sharing their experiencesWhen organizing self-driving trip or daily driving videos, adding timestamps makes memories clearer.
• Tech EnthusiastTesla owners who enjoy exploring and utilizing third-party tools to enhance the vehicle's original functionality.

⚠️ Usage Considerations and Precautions

When using such third-party tools, there are a few points you should keep in mind:

• Project Status: It has been perfected.
• Video ProcessingThis process typically requiresRecode the videoThis process may take some time and requires a certain level of processing power from your computer. It is recommended to perform this task when your computer is idle.Back up the original videoThe
• Technical BarrierThese tools may primarily offer command-line operation, requiring you to possess basic command-line usage knowledge.

💎 Summary

Overall,Tesla Camera Timer This project targets a minor pain point in Tesla's native functionality, offering a practical solution. It enables your dashcam footage to become “more informative.” If you frequently use Tesla's dashcam or Sentry Mode and find yourself needing more intuitive time information, trying this tool could significantly enhance your video management experience.
