Cloudvue C2C – Video File Naming Format

Description 

The C2C Gateway video file storage structure to the local SD card is as follows:

Product 

  • C2C

Solution

/media/sd1/videos/YYYY-MM-DD/EPOCHTIME.mkv

YYYY (Year such as 2023)

MM (Month such as 01 for January)

DD (Date such as 30 for the 30th)

Each directory  (YYYY-MM-DD) contains video files recorded that day, each video file uses the naming naming convention: EPOCHTIME.mkv.

Example

/media/sd1/videos/2023-04-03/1680580755.mkv

A check of the epoch time 1680580755 shows the local recording time was Monday, April 3, 2023 11:59:15 PM.

Use a converter like https://www.epochconverter.com/ to convert the epoch time to show the human readable GMT and local time.

Your time zone: Monday, April 3, 2023 11:59:15 PMGMT-04:00DST

Cloudvue Gateway – Video File Naming Format

Description 

The Cloudvue Gateway video file storage structure is as follows:

Product 

  • Cloudvue Gateway

Solution

/smartvue/video/MAC/YYYY-MM-DD/EPOCHTIME.mp4

MAC (The MAC address of a connected camera)
YYYY (Year such as 2023)
MM (Month such as 03 for March)
DD (Date such as 30 for the 30th)
Note: The folders Year, Month Date are UTC/GMT not the local time zone of the Cloudvue Gateway.

Within  each directory, video is stored in files. Each video device has its own directory and files.

Example

/smartvue/video/0050F9627E62/2023-03-30/1680140457.mp4

At first glance it would appear the video for the camera with MAC address 0050F9627E62 was recorded on March 30th, 2023. However, there is only one Unix time, and it is created using the UTC/GMT time zone. A check of the epoch time 1680140457 shows the local recording time was Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at 9:40:57 PM.
