recordings and filename time stamp
There have been more than a few people asking for continuous recordings while movement is detected, and then being able to set the period of time to record after movement has stopped; I'm guessing here that one of the limitations is going to be the file size of the recordings. Yet I have 'cheap' action cam's for my motorbike which record no problem by just creating multiple files instead of just one huge file, so if a $50 cam can do this I can't see why Arlo can't take the same approach to splitting up continuous recordings into more manageable small files.
However, the two issues I'm having are around accessing the recordings.
Having attached a USB drive to the base station for local recordings, there is no 'easy way' to access these. having to take the drive off-line, then wade though subdirectories trying to find the correct file is hardly user friendly.
Could we at the very least get an index file (plain text minimum, csv preferred) with the time/date stamp of the recording, camera name and then filename of the recording? Have an App to access the recordings in the same was as the cloud recordings. Or better still, be able to access the recordings in the same way at the cloud recordings without having to take the USB drive off line.
The suggested method of attaching a second USB drive to allow one to be taken off line isn't helpful, as this then creates a headache when trying to find a recording later on, as the recordings for the same day can be split across different USB drives.
On the subject of accessing recordings in the cloud, if I find via the web a recording I wish to save, I can download to my PC/Mac however the downloaded file does not give the recordings time/date stamp to match the time and date of the event, but the time date the file was downloaded for some obscure reason.
