I just bought system at Costco did not realize captured photos dont have a date and time stamp. I need this info. I am taking system backed to costco. July 2017. Great system but more of a toy without this info.

Not sure you aware of this, but the file name when downloaded is the creation date/time in EPOCH time ( computer time ) easily converted to human time

 

Tho, Yes, a date/time stamp in the video would be nice and has been requested many times

 

 

example snapshot in jpg is called 1499958421827.jpg

Yes, a simple human date time and ---- which camera took the video. 

 

We should convert each one using a website?  Could they atleast give us the conversion algorithm?  but you would still have to convert each one by one.

 

You could convert the video titles to text and then batch them through a program you would write.  This is crazy

 

BTW the time stamp and the serial number of the camera is retrievable in Path Finder, so this means that the info's already in the file!!   You still have to bring up the file in Path Finder each time, copy the text info to another file and store it with the video file.  This is crazy

I had been DL'ing mine from my phone but just did one with a PC. The name becomes montionRecord.mp4 instead if the date/time.
