Windows Explorer not displaying.Har files

As I suggested a while ago, you really need to speak with the manufacturer of the CCTV system -- or at least identify it so someone could do a little research. In the meantime, you might be interested in the following discussion about the unreadability of files produced by CCTV security systems --> CCTV file formats - CCTV Forum

Screenshot of the properties as requested.

I've also put a side by side of the folder viewed through the DVR's download tool which shows a file in there.

I concur with contacting the manufacturer...
...while we await a reply from them:

I have questions about your screenshot:
1) Where both windows open at the same time? I wondered if your request for the files created a catalog file shown in the "Save As" dialog box. I found some websites talking about HAR files as H.264 video files and other websites talking about them as text JSON files.

2) That looks like an IE "Save As" dialog box with XP style shortcuts. Are you using a W7 stock Windows (file) explorer?


That "Save As" dialog box is usually nothing more than a different looking Windows (file) Explorer.

Maybe you can...
...right click on the column headers
...select More from the context menu
...place a check by Attributes from the Choose Details window
...scroll down and place a check by Owner from that same window
Then resize the columns and the window itself to show all of the columns in your next screenshot.

You can also try (from within the "Save As" dialog box)...
...right-clicking on the file of interest
...selecting Copy from the context menu
(leave the "Save As" dialog box open)
...right-click on an empty place on your desktop
...select Paste from the context menu

If need be, we can walk you thru using Process Monitor to watch what is being written to that cctv folder (filter results for path contains cctv).
