Symbiot78 0 Posted February 9, 2018 Hi I have a hikvision camera with about a months worth of photos taken once pr. minute. Is there an EASY way to get these images from the camera. The sd card holds these 200Mb files which are not images. I can use the webbrowser but it can only search 4000 images and then if I do another search (date ranges) it will overwrite the previous images with the same names. Yes.. I can create a multitude of folders but it will take forever and a day.. I tried IVMS-4200 but I can only find a way to download videos and NOT images.. Any and ALL help is appreciated.

jeromephone 6 Posted February 9, 2018 can you remove the card and put it into a pc with a card reader and then copy and paste.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Symbiot78 0 Posted February 10, 2018 Yes. But as my first post says the camera stores the images in 200Mb files (.pic format). And I cannot read not find a reader for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flourgrader 0 Posted February 12, 2018 You need to remove the card from the camera and insert it into a card reader which is attached to a pc and using a program that is associated with the .pic format you will be able to extract your pics and re_save them in any other picture file format. Here is a link to some software programs that can read this file format http://extension.nirsoft.net/pic.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Symbiot78 0 Posted February 12, 2018 unfortunately the software on the list doesn't open .pic files which consist of multiple images. .pic is also an old image format for just 1 image.. but when hikvision packages them like this normal software won't open them.

Flourgrader 0 Posted February 12, 2018 Have you tried IrfanView. It's free to use and download. Link: http://www.irfanview.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Symbiot78 0 Posted May 29, 2018 yes, irfanview and any other image reader I can think of.. Nothing I've tried can read these packed formats. so if someone has ideas as to the unpacking of these files.. I'd much appreciate it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneM 0 Posted June 1, 2018 It doesn’t make sense to me that the manufacturer wouldn’t use a common file type. I’m having a similar problem with their video. Hoping for a solution. Does the camera offer any options that will let you change the type of file before recording for next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
