We already have an Event class as a "session" that has a start time. Each piece of media captured is an EventTrigger that is linked to an Event. Why not use this data to store and organize the media in storage? Why do we need a new concept of "session"?

I wanted to make the folder name the time when the user starts monitoring the environment. The time registered in Event class is the time for the first alert message in the session. It may not be same as the time user clicks on "Start".

It makes sense though to keep the Event class mStartTime since it is what we show in our logs. Will make the required changes.

Hey, have used Event start time to categorize media storage. Kindly have a look.
