      Currently, all pics/vids are saved with the name format CameraName_DateTime, such as 'Driveway_01_20180510115044.mp4'. When saving multiple cameras to the same central FTP target, things can get screwy with sorting. While one can choose to sort by create date, this needs to be done on a folder-by-folder basis. Kind of a hassle.

      If the user had the option to choose the filename scheme, it would allow for simpler sorting, ie the default 'sort by name' of most file browsers would show files also sorted by date-time.

      Rather than
      Door 10AM
      Door 2PM
      Door 11PM
      Driveway 9AM
      Driveway 1PM

      one could see
      Driveway 9AM
      Door 10AM
      Driveway 1PM
      Door 2PM
      Door 11PM

      and be able to scroll forward through time. Again, one can certainly just re-sort the folder view, but it needs to be done per folder.

      It's a long shot, certainly low-pri, but being able to create a custom filename structure would be nice. Something similar to MP3 tags or date pickers, such "T - a - t" or "N - YYYYMMDD-HHmm" etc.

                There are no standard conventions, but there a couple of best-practices: Organizing your files into (User and/or Date) Aware Folders.
