Hi, just a quick question really, my neighbour had an incident that luckily my cctv picked up really clearly so for the first time had to copy the footage onto a usb stick. The problem is the format... so it copied it in mp4 so I put it on my laptop and emailed it to her but she can’t watch it on her iPhone/iPad... so I changed it to AVI and still the same outcome. I ended up downloading a converter to change it to another type of mp4 that iPhone likes?? Anyone had any dealings with changing the format to a type that iPhone likes? I can go down the converter route next time but it crops the image so you can’t see the time etc...

Was it a lengthy clip?
Did you use the 'Download' facility from the web GUI Playback menu?
If so - that will be in the format as supplied by the camera to the NVR for storage.
If it's not too long a clip - you could try the 'Clip' tool in the web GUI Playback menu.
That will store it in the NVR's format, it might work differently.
I just used the software on the hikvision nvr ds-7608. Saved the 90s clip and backed it up on a usb stick that I plugged into the front of the nvr. It gave me and option to save it as mp4 or AVI none of which worked on a iPhone... I managed to do it ok on the hik-connect app for iPhone but when your clipping 4 camera’s its a bit time consuming, easier if I could just do it from the nvr.
