GeoVision storage format

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

We have a dead GeoVision box we've pulled out of a site (upgrading to a Vigil), and now the site needs some old video from it. It's being dropped off at my place later, but I figured I'd get a head start on the job and see if anyone can tell me how easy/possible it is to extract video without dropping the drive in a new GV machine? Are the files in a standard format/codec? Are they timestamped in some way (file name = time, camera number, etc.)?

 

Or will I be relegated to rebuilding the whole system and running a database rebuild?

This should work for what you need to do.

May need to use the updated EzViewlog from the version you are using if it is newer then 8.1

Basically the EzViewlog is the portable version created when one backs up withing Viewlog on the DVR.

It will install whatever it needs to when it is first run.

Ezviewlog is a Geovision product, my link just shows how to utilize it.

or just use it as an example for how the files are named.

Will need to install the Geovision codecs also, EzViewlog does that as well

 

There is also this as another feature for EzViewlog:
