For most home users, it is now recommended to use either .avi or .mp4 as the preferred video backup format when exporting footage.
For more information on these file types click here.
Below is a list of proprietary video backup file formats used by various LILIN DVR and NVR models.
These proprietary file formats are designed specifically for exporting recorded video footage from LILIN recording devices. As the files are encrypted and protected against modification, they provide a secure method of preserving video evidence and help maintain the integrity of exported recordings.
Because these formats cannot be easily edited or altered, they are the preferred option when exporting footage for investigative, evidential, or compliance purposes.
The specific backup file format used will depend on the DVR or NVR model and firmware version. A list of the supported backup formats can be found below.

If you have exported footage in either .avi or .mp4 format, it is recommended that you use VLC Media Player to view the recordings.
