DAV — Dahua DVR Video
DAV is the video format of Dahua security camera recorders (DVR and NVR): CCTV footage that ordinary players usually cannot open.
Dahua recorders, and many recorders sold under other brands that use Dahua hardware, save camera footage as DAV. Inside is usually H.264 or H.265 video, sometimes with audio, in Dahua's own container with time stamps for the recorder.
Windows, phones and most players do not open DAV; Dahua's Smart Player does. When footage has to be shown to the police, an insurer or a neighbour, it is converted to MP4, which plays everywhere. The picture is kept as recorded.
