Am I missing something here? It seems incredibly complex to get a simple clip off my K Series NVR (running v4).
I log in using IE (running IE in admin privs) and choose Playback. I select the camera i want then "download" icon towards bottom right of screen. A dialog pops up and I select the camera I want, put the date in, adjust the time to get say 4 mins.... hit search. It finds 2 files each 1gb or so large. I can download them to my PC.
These files are obviously way larger than the clip I want and they're totally non-standard. Even VSPlayer (latest rev) seems to stumble on playing them. VLC latest version kind of plays them but if you try to skip around in the video to find what you want in the 2 hours of video (I only want 4 mins of video!) there are huge pauses. I'm on a i7 8700K CPU and 64GB of RAM.
I don't get why this is so complex. I just want 4 mins of video in a standard format I can give to a neighbor to play back (their car was broken into).
