@Carl is this still really not a feature?

Thank you for the suggestion.  We will forward it up to the Smart Home Team.

@usbears Hi Andy,  Interesting response.  When a camera advertises as a security camera, a basic feature is to incorporate a date/time stamp on the recorded video.  It appears that tp-link is not interested in implementing this feature.  I believe all of us posting here realize the importance of security camera recordings with date/time stamp, especially when the footage is presented to law enforcement.  There isn't any way for law enforcement to determine when the video was recorded.  Just wanted to comment on this.  Seems this item is dead in the water, so to speak.  I still use these cameras at my property but also use another brand with 5MP that records a date/time stamp.  Best regards, usbears.  Stay safe!

@TP_Link-Andy I suspect you do not really work for TP Link - but if you actually do, there is a small part of me that admires the honesty of this post 

However, there is a bigger part of me that will share it on every review page of every TP Link product I can find across the internet - IF it does in fact represent TP Link's position. 

Any updates yet? I use the camera to monitor the dog when he's home alone and without timestamp it's ambiguous as to whether camera feed has frozen or he's asleep. Previous cheap and cheerful camera from another brand had a time stamp embedded so it was clear when connection was active. Their app was garbage hence upgrade.
