CCTV Night Cam maker

Makes any animation look like a security camera recording at night: wide-lens bulge, choppy frame rate, grain, blocky compression, a running timestamp, REC and a motion-detection box. Type your own words, adjust it live, then download the MP4 or a GIF. Free, made in your browser, nothing uploaded.
