If you are using the IP bird box camera, usually the video is recorded in h.264 or h.265 format. This video format is not so friendly for most of the player. You may can’t playback files on the typical player. You can use the tool below to convert the H.264 and H.265 files to mp4. The mp4 files may still can’t play directly by windows media players or Mac quick time player as some of the codec is required. However, it works with the open source players such as VLC player which are available on both apple Mac and windows PC.
1. First, download and install the PC software with below URL.
