Security Camera Timestamp OSD Watermark Inpainter removes baked-in on-screen display (OSD) timecode stamps, channel labels, and date overlays from CCTV, dashcam, and surveillance video frames.

### How Inpainting Works Security cameras often print bright yellow, green, or white timestamps across the upper or lower boundary of recorded frames: - **Banner Placement:** Users select whether the timestamp text sits along the top or bottom edge of the image. - **Adjacent Texture Synthesis:** The tool isolates the 8% horizontal strip containing the OSD text and samples neighboring background pixels directly adjacent to the banner (above or below the text region). - **Feathered Canvas Blending:** Using the HTML5 2D canvas API, the clean background texture is copied over the timecode strip, blending the background without blurring the remainder of the frame. - **Export Format:** Saves the inpainted clean frame directly as an uncompressed PNG file.

### Worked Usage Example Suppose an investigator has a 1920 × 1080 security frame with a bright green timestamp banner along the top 86 pixels: 1. Select "Top Edge" as the timestamp position. 2. Upload the surveillance frame image file. 3. The inpainter samples texture starting from pixel row 88 and synthesizes the background upward, covering the timestamp text. 4. Click "Download Inpainted Image (PNG)" to save the clean frame for forensic presentation.

### Client-Side Privacy Note All image parsing and pixel blending occur locally on your device in your web browser. Sensitive surveillance footage, dashcam photos, and private security stills are never uploaded to remote servers.
