The current file naming IS truly unique.  The naming convention is 
CHID_YYYYMMDDHHMMxx.ext.  That 'xx' is not seconds, but rather a unique 
integer which is bumped until it finds a unique filename.  Assuming you 
don't manage to record the same channel at the same minute that 
hundredth time, there should never be an overlap.
