Thanks again for the information! Sorry for the late reply . . . for
some reason, I only just got this . . .
I would guess that there is a way to automate that concatenating via
FFMpeg and I have a nephew that codes in Linux for a full-time job. I
wanted to ask about the Raspberry Pi group what might be the best
method(s) and then talk with him . . .
We are most interested in being able to group videos by a certain time
period, e.g., the motion tripped within a particular time period. The
ideal setup would be looking at the concatenating video with two sliders
- one for the beginning and one for the ending and downloading to the
phone. While moving the sliders to see images/time stamps of the video
where to start and stop. The time stamps could be on the original
videos. Is the a video player that might be able to do that?
Or, even having one slider and being able to look at a time period after
that. For example, the 20 minutes of video following a certain
identified point of the concatenating video . . .
Thanks again for your help, Adam!! Greatly appreciated!!

Thanks about the USB tip. I’m trying to concatenate automatically,
however. We have many Arlo cameras where we CAN connect to the
internet. Otherwise, you’re right, we could just use a trail cam but
the time someone would need to be spending going through assembling
videos would not be worth it.
Concatenating the videos into one would be fairly straightforward, if
somewhat inconvenient (if the video is of leaves blowing you'd have to
sit through it in full instead of just skipping to the next video).
But if you wanted to do this you could just copy the files off the trail
camera and run a short ffmpeg command to join them all together into
one video.
The hard part of what you ask is using the video player to scroll
through the videos and downloading a segment to your phone.
Also, how remote is this camera? If you already have
Internet-connected cameras that do what you want, have you considered a
long range wireless link? Mikrotik is one of the lower priced vendors,
with some of their longer range devices apparently being able to
maintain a line-of-sight link for 40 km (25 mi) on 2.4 GHz:

I haven't used any of these products so they are just examples of
what's available, not a recommendation.
Cheers,
Adam.
