Hikvision file structures

[Tolting Colt Acres]

I was curious if anyone may have information on the file structures index/info files created on the hikvision nas filesystems. Specifically,

/info.bin
/datadir#/HIWKS
/datadir#/index00.bin
/datadir#/index00p.bin
/datadir#/index01.bin
/datadir#/index01p.bin
/datadir#/logCurFile.bin
/datadir#/logMainFile.bin


Hikvision's "Local Playback Viewer" repeatedly informs me "No Video file found" when I point it to the root filesystem of my camera's NAS storage, so I'd like to develop my own Playback viewer, but need to know the structure of the index files so I can properly read/sort through the data.

I'm not sure if this is still up to date - but may provide a starting point : libHikvision/libHikvision.php at master · davehope/libHikvision · GitHub

Awesome, thanks I'll play with it tonight

As a followup, it would seem these file structures are still applicable to the latest firmware (at least, the info.bin and index00.bin files)

Any leads for the log file structure would be helpful.
