Arlo Pro - Naming Convention Of Downloaded Videos

dschaaf68 — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 00:38:07 GMT

I'm using the arlow Pro single camera and it is capturing everything to the cloud perfectly. I have upgraded to the 30 day rolling storage and am downloading the files as I need to use them in a proceeding. My question is, is there any add-on or any way for the downloaded files to be named in a manner that relates to the date and time as opposed to just a generic file number? I have to catalogue the data and this would be extremely helpful.

Thanks,

Derek

dschaaf68,

When downloading videos, the file name is a time stamp in Unix time. You can use a converter online to view the actual time in Day/Time format.

I have a Python script which will download all videos from 1 day (yesterday by default) which also renames the videos into human-readable names. If interested, PM me with your email address.
