No solution was identified until the concept of using the RTSP and then one of the engineers connected the dots. We test the following script to record Avigilon’s RTSP transmission:įfmpeg -i -hide_banner -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 192k -ac 2 \.mp4įfmpeg -i -hide_banner -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 192k -ac 2 F:\ffmpeg\Test.mp4Īvigilon conducted a conference of several sales engineers located in various territories. Multiple stream recording worked as well with no issues evident during the test. We used a 1MP Avigilon Camera with shooting in 720p resolution at 30 frames per second with little processing required. We ran our test on it and were able to record directly into an MP4 container in real-time with no issues. The latest static build is avaialble for free at. We can use the RTSP stream from the Avigilon camera and record it using a third party application, FFmpeg.įFmpeg is an open-source converter.
I would like share with you the results of our research. Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions. Also, if anyone else has any recommendations on conversion software they prefer to use, please comment! Try this out and see how it works for you. DO NOT CLOSE VLC, as this is the conversion process, which is usually second for second, so if you were to have 3 VLC players open with 3 conversion processes running, you should theoretically have them all complete within the 7 hours or so of recorded footage. Now, you will see VLC open and run with a time bar underneath.
Next, select the codec type you would like and click "start".Click on "Add" to add your file, then click on "Convert / Save".Select "Convert / Save" near the bottom of the menu.When the application first opens, you will be prompted to open an AVE or AVK file. In Windows, select All Programs or All Apps > Avigilon > Avigilon Control Center Player > Avigilon Control Center Player. With that being said, if you can use VLC media player, test this conversion method yourself and see if it works for you, since it's the quickest file conversion I've seen / used. The Player can be opened in any of the following ways: Double-click the shortcut icon on the desktop. The tech told me to use third party software to convert the files, although when I asked what kind to use, he didn't give me a recommendation and said "any converter should work".
AVE (which you already knew), and that their standalone media player can export. I spoke with Avigilon tech support, and they basically said that you could export the footage directly to.
