Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I playing downloaded clips.

[ak_camguy 0]

I downloaded a clip from the camera web interface, it says it is MP4, but I am unable to play the file with Quicktime or Windows Media Player... Any ideas why? Is this a proprietary encoding?

 

Edit: I don't want to use VSPlayer. IE, upload to youtube, send to an email address so I can view etc.

 

I tried this link, but I can't download the file... It's like their server isn't hosting it anymore.

I am using the Camera to NAS backup solution if that helps.

 

Found a link that worked....

I took them off the SD card on my Hikvision dome and I played them with VLC, no problems. You can also use VLC to convert to another format if you prefer to play with Window Media Player like an AVI file.

 

It's free, it's open source, it works
