neuman1812, I really agree with you on this one! I hate the way the folders and files are written when my IP2M-841's send to an FTP server. Interestingly, one of my cameras uses a different scheme. I have no idea why, but maybe years ago there was a way to modify it which I now forget
In the older versions of the firmware the configuration backup data file was in a JSON format that you could read as a text file. I see the format strings for the folder hierarchy and the filenames, so I'm encouraged there is a way to alter them. I have not had time to experiment with a way to alter them, but I'm hopefull.
For example "PicturePathRule" : "%y-%M-%d/%c/jpg/%h/%m/%s[%E][%O@%S][%R].jpg"
Here's a more detailed example:
Code: Select all
"StorageGroup" : [ {
"Channels" : [ { "MaxPictures" : 0, "Path" : null } ], "FileHoldTime" : 0, "Memo" : "For Reading & Writing Files", "Name" : "ReadWrite", "OverWrite" : true,
"PicturePathRule" : "%y-%M-%d/%c/jpg/%h/%m/%s[%E][%O@%S][%R].jpg", "RecordPathRule" : "%y-%M-%d/%c/dav/%h/%h.%m.%s-%h.%m.%s[%E][%O@%S][%R].%t"
}, { "Channels" : [ { "MaxPictures" : 0, "Path" : null } ], "FileHoldTime" : 0, "Memo" : "For FTP Files", "Name" : "Remote", "OverWrite" : true,
"PicturePathRule" : "%y-%M-%d/%hhour/jpg/%h.%m.%s[%E][%O@%S][%R].jpg", "RecordPathRule" : "%y-%M-%d/%hhour/mp4/%h.%m.%s-%h.%m.%s[%E][%O@%S][%R].%t"
