  1. Pablo,

    HiLook DVR/NVRs are the domestic brand from hikvision so your USB drive will need to be formatted to Fat32. The Video and log export option will provide .mp4 video files along with a .tex file containing start and end data for each clip. The .mp4 files are proprietary and will not play on windows media or VLC so you need to do a second export to obtain the player. this should be MLplayer or VSplayer.


  2. Andy,

     

    I presume you are using a windows OS. The HDD may be a ext partition so windows will not support the disc format. You can try mounting it using a program like Paragon ExtFS. this will allow you to mount the drive. Or run a virtual build of linux.

    Other option to test the HDD is operating correctly you could download a trial of something like UFS explorer. This is a very good data recovery tool and i have had some cracking results using it.

    Just remember that the data may not be in a file arranged format and there could potentially just be a drive full of RAW proprietary data.


  3. What version of buck up player are you using, reason I ask this is some will allow you to then export from the player as a avi.

     

    The only other way you will be able to get this to work is to carve the data for each camera creating a .ps file for each then convert that.

     

    It’s not a simple task and not something that should be attempted though with out the correct knowledge or experience.

     

    I really don’t understand why people have the fascination with converting raw cctv to other formats. I have used hundreds if not thousands of proprietary cctv players and can honestly say that I have only had issues with one or two players not working how I would like it to.


  4. Samsung’s .bu file can only be viewed by playing them back in the dvr that they were exported from. You can’t upload them back to the dvr as the dvr only exports footage.

     

    Samsung did release a .bu to avi converter but in my experience it is very unreliable and glitches a lot especially if you have a lot of footage to play.

     

    If the footage is still available on the dvr then you can export it as a .sec ( comes as a .exe with player) or a .avi


  5. Looking for some assistance if anyone can help. I have been handed a floureon d6794nm NVR that the owner has lost the password. I have removed and managed to recover the data from the HDD and have that playing so that’s a start,

     

    I also need to be able to gain access to the NVR so I can check settings and the log as well as reset the password for future use.

     

    I have contacted floureon both by email and via social media and have had no reply back.

     

    Dose anyone have any advise or methods of resetting the password.

     

    Before anyone says remove the bios battery that’s not an option as that will only mess up the time and date.


  6. Just having a random thought (prob not a good idea after a few whiskys) anyway I have installed several systems over the years that unitise ether proprietary or standalone software that will deal with facial recognition from a fixed camera normally of a high resolution.

     

    This sort of system as we all know is utilised world wide by everyone from businesses to government agencies but my question is this.

     

    Is there software out there that can take pre recorders from all sorts of cameras, positions, quality,

    and location then check against a known database of people? Something that's maybe used by law enforcement units to scan through evidential cctv footage.
