GeoVision Files Won't Open? Install GeoVision Codec to View CCTV Recordings
The GeoVision CCTV MPEG4 Codec allows you to play AVI video files recorded from GeoVision surveillance systems.
This codec is essential for viewing security footage on computers without the original GeoVision software.
Installation Methods

Extract all files from the "GeoCodec.zip" or "VideoCodec-NVR_V8.9.1.1.zip" archive to a folder.
Step 2: Install the Codec.
Right-click on the GeoCodecReg.exe file.
Select "Install" from the context menu.
If Windows displays a warning: "The software you are installing for this hardware has not passed Windows Logo testing..."
Click "Continue anyway" to proceed with installation.
Step 3: Restart.
Restart your computer to complete the installation.
Test by playing a GeoVision AVI file in your media player.
