# Video Naming Convention

<p class="callout danger">**Retired page.** This documents the legacy SiteTrax.io service portal, which has been replaced by **SiteTrax.io Intelligence** at [app.sitetrax.io](https://app.sitetrax.io).

SiteTrax.io video files follow a structured naming convention that encodes information about the capture session. A typical filename looks like: `s000_26-04-07_18-00-39-09_00059.mp4`.

The first segment (e.g., s000, s001, s002) represents the segment number within a capture session. When a continuous scan produces multiple video segments, each is numbered sequentially. The date portion (e.g., 26-04-07) encodes the capture date in YY-MM-DD format. The time portion (e.g., 18-00-39-09) encodes the capture time. The session number (e.g., 00059) is a sequential identifier for the capture session.

Some videos may use a different naming format without the segment prefix (e.g., 26-04-07\_17-50-42-93\_00084.mp4), which typically represents a single capture from a stationary or gate-mounted camera.
