Parse Hikvision datadirs that Hikvision IP cameras store the videos

LibHikvision

Python library to parse Hikvision datadirs that Hikvision IP cameras store the videos. Using this class you can view details about recordings stored in a datadir and extract video and thumbnails.

Working Example

#!/usr/bin/python3

from libhikvision import libHikvision
from datetime import datetime
from datetime import timedelta

cameradir = '/var/tmp/hikvision/'
hik = libHikvision(cameradir, 'video')

# Get information about the server
print(hik.getNASInfo())

# Extract the segments within a specific range of dates
# segments = hik.getSegments(
#    from_time=datetime(2023, 5, 5, 8, 0, 0),
#    to_time=datetime(2023, 5, 20, 23, 59, 00),
#)

# Extract last 3 Hours
segments = hik.getSegments(
    from_time=(datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=3)),
    to_time=(datetime.now()),
)

# Extract the Videos and Images from segments found above
for num, segment in enumerate(segments, start=0):
    print('{0:4}) {1[cust_filePath]:55} {1[cust_duration]:5} {1[startOffset]:10} {1[endOffset]:10}   {1[cust_startTime]} - {1[cust_endTime]}'.format(
        num,
        segment
    ))
    oDate = datetime.strptime("{0[cust_startTime]}".format(segment), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    sDateFormated=oDate.strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S')
    print(hik.extractSegmentMP4(num, cachePath='/var/tmp/', filename='/var/tmp/video-{0}.mp4'.format(sDateFormated)))
    print(hik.extractSegmentJPG(num, cachePath='/var/tmp/', filename='/var/tmp/video-{0}.jpg'.format(sDateFormated)))

You should also check the documentation of each method for extra options.
