Is there anyway to get video files off an NVR via SSH? Or have I got to use a GUI?

Maybe I could save the files to a NAS and access from there?

Not realistically, a couple of reasons :
An SSh connection only gives access to Hikvision's 'psh' protected shell, which doesn't have any useful low-level commands, unlike the normal Linux shells.
And, at least on the NVR models (DS-76xxNI-Ex, Kx) and firmware I've seen, the HDDs are not used with any familiar file systems, nor are they mounted.
The data is stored and organised in a simple proprietary fashion specific for use in an NVR, and would need some code to query and gather the data.
