Video Conversion
Since the video is recorded in the “.AV” format, it is incompatible with other video players, such as
Windows Media Player and VLC Player. To convert the video files to the “.AVI” format that can be played
on any system, you will need to use the “AV to AVI” converter program included in the installation of the
Surveillance program.
To use the “AV to AVI” program, select the file you want to convert by clicking on the “…” button. The video
file path will be shown in the “AV file” section and the file path of the converted video will be shown below
it in the “AVI file.” The AVI file will be saved to the same location as the original AVI file. After you have
selected the file you want, click the “Make” button to start the conversion. A blue progress bar will appear,
and when the conversion is done, you will see the message “Make Succeed.” Wait for this message to
disappear before exiting the program.
Your converted AVI file can now be played in most media players.
