Learn how to merge Hikvision recording files in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason behind all the separated recordings could be due to factors, including the type of recording schedule set up for your recorder. For instance, having motion detection enabled will create various separated files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, as a user, you can imagine that it is not convenient to go through the videos individually. For instance, suppose you download recordings from your Hikvision recorder, and it saves as ten files with varying frame lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worry not; if you find yourself in this situation, you can always merge Hikvision recording files into one piece. Nevertheless, you can&#8217;t do this directly on the recorder and will have to use Hikvision&#8217;s VSPlayer to combine them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you will find instructions on how to merge Hikvision recording files together into one by using the VSPlayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions to merge Hikvision recording files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will first need to download and run the VSPlayer on your computer.
