I have two IPC-HDW5231R-Z cams connected to Synology Surveillance Station. I configured both to upload snapshots and video from motion detection via FTP to an FTP server on the Synology NAS.

I noticed the cam uploads data to the server, but in a format I don't recognize (.dav and .idx). I also noticed it buries everything under a directory structure (day, hour, etc) so I have to drill down a bit for each event.

I am trying to find the best way to view the video/snapshots and if there was a way to flatten the directories to just the day instead. Still trying to figure out the best method to use the cams and Synology SS.

thanks
