Convert surveillance videos (AVR) online for free
The converter easily converts your AVR videos to various formats - free and online. No AVTECH Player or or other Video software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "DVR Surveillance Video" file type, you need software like AVTECH Player or a similar tool.
The .AVR file extension is primarily a proprietary video container used by digital video recorders (DVRs) and CCTV surveillance systems. Hardware manufacturers like AVTECH, Safety Vision, and AVerMedia use this format to store continuous camera feeds. These files often pack multiple camera streams, timestamps, and proprietary encryption into a single file. A small percentage of .AVR files act as software registration keys for AVS4YOU tools or as backup configuration files for Denon and Marantz AV receivers.
The main disadvantage of .AVR video files is severe vendor lock-in. These surveillance recordings require highly specific, often outdated, and poorly designed playback software provided by the camera manufacturer. They are rarely supported by standard media players like VLC media player or modern web browsers. Sharing an obscure .AVR file with law enforcement, insurance adjusters, or uploading it online is highly impractical because the recipient will not be able to open it.
To make your security footage usable, you must convert the .AVR file into a standardized format. For general sharing, playback on mobile devices, and web uploads, convert to MP4 (using the H.264 codec). For long-term archiving without losing quality, convert to MKV or AVI. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software. We help you bypass the proprietary wrapper and extract the raw video data so you can actually watch your recordings.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AVR converter.
