Any interest in "Video E Server" automation script

[todd2 0]

I run my DVR on continuous record but also with motion detection turned on.

That way, I don't miss anything, but also have a record of points of

interest to look at. Problem is, the DVR fills up after a few weeks, and I

want to save the motion detection footage to my PC before I wipe the drive.

 

(Obviously, I can't save everything since I don't have 500gb of drive

or DVD space to burn each time I wipe the DVR.)

 

So, I tried to use "Video E Server" to do the download, but it's only set up

to let you manually pick one event at a time to download.

 

So, I downloaded some free software called "AutoIt" which was designed

for GUI testing and automation, and wrote an AutoIt script that sucks down

the exact event records that I need. In my case, Video E Server listed

800+ events, so I could have run my script, selected 1-800, and boom,

I'd have all 800 events (each download from the DVR is by default 5mb)

for only 800*5mb = 4gb of space which I can stick on a single DVD.

 

It does take a LONG time to run, but not because my script sucks; it's

because the AVC761 download speed is about 125k/second, so a 5mb

clip takes 40 seconds to download.

 

I can post the script if anyone wants it. You'll need to install AutoIt

to run it.

sounds good. if you post it i should be able to convert it to Vbscript. That way wont need to install autoit.
