My Dahua IPC-HFW1320S-W is connected via wifi & stores recordings on the SD card. Is there a way to download these recordings without having to physically remove the SD card? I was thinking maybe I could enable SSH & use WinSCP? I can't see a way of doing this via the IOS, Android or Windows apps.

Thanks

On my to do list I still have this when I get around to it. I planned to this automaticly, and move the files to a NAS. Also I plan to convert the dav files to mp4, once I am able to retrieve them this should be easy.

Dahua api's to retrieve the files;

See this;

nayrnet/node-dahua-api

Code:
// Find Files
var query = {
  'channel': '0',
  'startTime': '2018-5-9 09:00:00',
  'endTime': '2018-5-9 12:00:00',
  'types': ['jpg','dav'], // [ “dav”, “jpg”, “mp4” ]
  'count': 10 // max. 100
};

dahua.findFiles(query);
dahua.on('filesFound',function(data){
  console.log('filesFound:', data);
});

// Save File
var fileMeta = {
       Channel: '0',
       EndTime: '2018-05-19 10:45:00',
       FilePath: '/mnt/sd/2018-05-19/001/dav/10/10.36.45-10.45.00[R][0@0][0].dav',
       StartTime: '2018-05-19 10:36:45',
       Type: 'dav'
};

Thanks for your reply. Although I have a Raspberry Pi2 that would probably work with this, it looks a good way beyond my skillset and I would probably be quicker just getting the ladders out & extricating the SD card!

I'll probably try something out soon, I'll update if I get something working.

Just use a browser and go to the cameras web interface? It should also have the ability to store to an NVR or FTP server directly. To download you have to go to the playback tab.

On the plus side - Dahua is adding MP4 file format to their newest firmware. I think its only one a couple of things so far though and they might not add that to anything older but who knows.
