Motion Events Folders

[cmnyc]

Hello,

On my instance of iCamSource, I currently have 3 network cameras being monitored, with motion detection enabled and set to record. I've also got dropbox running, and have created a folder within my dropbox called iCam. Within the iCam folder, I've created 3 folders, with friendly names, to distinguish the 3 different cameras.... and have set each iCam Source Cam to point to a specific one of these folders.

I didn't learn about the 'hash' subfolder until after... and am a little disappointed that it exists, without an override option (either to disable it, or to specify what the subfolder should be).

Please add this as a housekeeping option.

Thanks!

The hash isn't random, it's actually a unique identifier of the camera, so iCamSource uses it for identification purposes.

I know... point is, if i explicitly tell iCamSource a folder I want the motion events to be stored in... it should use THAT folder. Not a subfolder of that folder.

I have 3 iCamSources... and I've created a human readable, friendly folder for each... "01 - Basement", "02 - Den", "03 - Backyard", for instance... not so appealing to have "01 - Basement" \ eu38eueoifhidsr893udioeioewuiore (example) \ [meaningful events here]

The reason for the hash is because it's a unique identifier for the camera hardware, unlike a name. It's possible we may change the identifier in the future.
