how do i enable downloading multiple videos?

[aarons6]

something got stolen on my property and unfortunately it was out of view of the camera so i have to literally watch a months worth of videos to see if i can see someone walking past the camera.
.
ive tried to do it in the webpage but it keeps messing up and i have to either remember where i was or start over. plus its really slow only 16x.

i can see in the event viewer there is a download button but if i select all and push it nothing happens.. if i do one it will ask if i want to zip up the videos first..

is there an option or a way to download ALL of the videos? its like 300gb

Not a direct answer, but you can grab the videos off of the disk. They are organized by camera and date.
/zm/store/1/2022-08-12/{event ID}/{event id}-video.mp4

i thought about that but then they would be in 100s of folders.

Maybe a shell script can copy all of them to a specified folder which you can then copy from.

Here is the script to move all .mp4 files in batch. I do not have a bash translation.

for /r "g:\zm\store\1" %i in (*.mp4) do move "%~fi" "g:\new"

All mp4 files under the directory g:\zm\store\1 are moved the g:\new It will look in all directories under m.
You may want to copy.
Also, use at your own risk.

I’d have thought there would be a better way in 2022. Like rclone them to an S3 bucket and get AWS to watch the video for you.
