How to Change the File Name of Saved Recordings, Audio Recordings, or Captures

Click Tools - Options in the top menu of oCam.

Then click the Save tab on the left to set the file name for saved files.


 


By default, files are saved in the following format.

<Prefix>_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

The text inside the <> brackets uses special keywords. These keywords can represent the prefix, date, serial number, program name, user ID, and user name.


With the default settings, when recording starts and then finishes, the file is saved in the format Recording_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791. If you only want to change the word Recording at the beginning, you can change it as follows.


Test_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

If you do this, the file will be saved in the format Test_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 after recording is completed.


If you want to add a serial number after Test instead of the date,

set it to Test_<#>, and it will be saved as Test_1... Test_2 ... Test_3...................... Test_10.

Today's News/Tips

Where are the recorded video files saved, and how can I change the save location?

In oCam, recorded video files are automatically saved to the folder you specified as the save path.


By default, oCam saves files to the default folder configured on your computer.


To check this folder, first run the oCam program and go to the main screen.


Click the Open button on the main screen, and the folder where recorded video files are saved will appear.


 


Clicking this button automatically opens Windows Explorer so you can check the folder directly.


If you want to change the save path, click the Settings button on the oCam main screen.


When the Settings window opens, go to the Save tab at the top and find the save path setting option.



You can change the path by clicking here and selecting a desired folder.


After saving the changed path, all future recorded video files will be saved to the new location.


In addition, setting the save path to a folder you use often makes file management much more convenient.
