The downloaded filename of "14.34.13-14.34.30[M][0@0][0].mp4". I want to the default file name to have a camera ID, date, and start time. Is that possible?
Two cameras using software versions V2.800.0000000.1.R, Build Date: 2019-09-2 and 2.520.AC00.18.R, Build Date: 2017-06-29
Also is there a way to get the camera to stop automatically logging me out after 30 minutes or so? I want a time out of 9,999,999 hours.

Re: How to change moronic file name scheme?
Hello and Welcome to the forum
Sadly logging you out is something that is new to the 2019 and 2020 FW dates.. Anything before this would leave you online full time even days later... Sadly with the new FW update that changed and has something to do with Safety for the End User..
Back some time there was some issues with people being able to access a camera after the camera was logged in from with in the Network even without having the log in info, It might have been caused by CGI or some other type of outside connection ability and with the Device logged in when someone would run that command it would piggy back and they could hear audio or see video... Now please note that I don't work for Amcrest and I am not saying this is why it was setup like this I can say that I have heard of others with this issue and the CURE for the cause was to have the system log out the user so there is no access without a Password...
So what this means is that you can have your camera online for as long as you want and it will play the feed or at least I think it does as I have not really looked to see if it was still live on the ones that I have let play and then try to go to setup or ptz menu to be told I was logged out.. Normally I think it will still stream the feed just can't do anything without logging in again... However if you were working on a Setup of the camera and went away to come back and wanted to look at the live view it would say that you were logged out.. So my point here is just keep your Live feed active and having to log in when you need to PTZ or go to setup really isn't that much of an issue if your info is safe..
About the Name scheme. Not sure that can be done.. I have heard a lot of people not happy with the way the File Structure or names are setup though out the years not sure anything can be done from within Amcrest Hardware...
