Encrypted video recording file with DVR365

Files with dav file extension can be encountered as older video recordings from video recorders and security camera systems, such as the DVR365 series.

Further details

The dav file extension is known to be used by various digital video recorders and CCTV security solutions from different manufacturers, including DVR365, AlienDVR, and Mace.

Dav files represent recordings in MPEG format in the SightBoss Central Station software installed on the DVR.

In addition to being encrypted, standard media players that support MPEG cannot play these DAV files. Viewing the footage requires special playback software (DVR365). The playback may also require older MPEG codecs on your computer.

DVR365 devices were superseded by AlienDVR devices, which offer better resolution and video encoded with H.264.

AlienDVR video recorders now don't use the original DAV format. The recordings don't seem to use the .dav file extension either, but mp4 or 264 instead.
