How to map string in email to image in library

MichelleInRalei — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:39:20 GMT

I have my Arlo cameras outside capturing wildlife pictures.

I send the videos to friends to view.

Sometimes my friends don't get to view it in the 24 hour timeframe.

How do I figure out what I had previously sent based on the email they get:

They get something like this:

https://my.arlo.com/hmsweb/users/library/share/link/C3D2D21E9D0EBD8B_202111

The link to this video recording will expire after 24 hours.

It looks like the last 6 digits are the <day><year><month>.

What do the other digits represent? Can I map them back to the camera and or timestamp?

Thanks,

Michelle

That may work but you'd have to try it to see. A better solution, although a bit more work on your part, is to download them and make them available through a hosting website.

Really looking not to add more complexity. I would think that somewhere in the string of number/letters that get sent in the email and something that would tell me which camera and time.

This there a better place I should be posting this question? I had a hard time navigating all the different support options.

If there is a connection, it's not obvious. The starting string could just be a 64-bit hash function that can't be reversed.
