Secure Lock Camera

A verification camera for Android. Every photo and video is stamped with the date, time and your own code — burned into the image itself, not written to metadata that can be stripped or edited.

Get it on Google Play

Requires Android 10 or newer and a device with a camera.

What it is for

Anywhere the timestamp has to be part of the picture rather than a claim about it: check-in and verification photos, seal and tag numbers, delivery and condition shots, equipment and maintenance logs, rental and property inspections, and any other record that has to stand on its own later.

Everything stays on your device. Secure Lock Camera has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. It does not request internet permission at all, so your photos and the codes you enter physically cannot be uploaded anywhere. Captures are saved straight to your normal gallery.

Features

Timestamp and code overlay

Date and time on every capture, plus your own code with a label you choose. A second label and value is available for paired shots. Any text colour, previewed live on screen.

Photo and video

One-tap switching. Video carries the same burned-in overlay with a ticking timestamp. Choose 4:3, 16:9 or square for photos; 4K, 1080p, 720p or 480p for video.

Second picture mode

Take two photos and join them into one image, stacked or side by side. Each half keeps its own stamped details.

Your own watermark

Import a logo, place it in any corner, and size it between 10% and 25% of the frame.

Orientation you can trust

See whether a shot will save as portrait or landscape before you take it, and lock it so an accidental tilt cannot change the result.

Wear OS remote shutter

Optional companion app: fire the shutter, start and stop recording, switch capture mode and frame the shot from a live viewfinder on your wrist.

Also included: a self-timer at 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds; front and rear cameras with flash and a screen flash for selfies; portrait and landscape support; and saving direct to your gallery.

Permissions, plainly

PermissionWhy
CAMERA To take the photos and videos. This is the only permission the app requests.
No microphone Video is recorded silently. The app is not capable of recording audio.
No internet The app does not declare the internet permission, so it cannot send anything anywhere.
No storage or photo library Importing a watermark uses Android's own photo picker, so the app only ever sees the single image you pick.

A note on image quality

Your phone's built-in camera app will produce better-looking photos than any third-party camera, including this one — manufacturers use processing that Android does not expose to other developers. Secure Lock Camera is built for stamped, verifiable, tamper-evident captures rather than for the prettiest possible photo.
