Hi,

I want to purchase Arlo Q plus for my Organization,  Is it possible to get Date and Time stamp on both Live video footage and Video file after downloaded? Also,  How can I get that stamping to be like Wednesday, March 25, 2020, 11:18:42 AM?

The timestamp in the video isn't possible. Many, but not all, Arlo cameras embed the recording time in the video's metadata (it's the Pro 3 and Ultra that don't) which can be read by viewing the file's properties or using a program such as MediaInfo. Downloading the video on a computer gets you a filename that's the epoch time - the number of seconds since 12:00AM Jan. 1, 1970, which can be converted using websites such as epochconverter.com. Use of the app should get you a filename with a human-readable timestamp.
