Commandline Java tool for converting .264 files produced by some Chinese IP cameras

chipcaco-java (Chinese IP Camera Converter) is a Java application for converting .264 files produced by some Chinese IP cameras like TPTEK, IeGeek, and other brands that uses CamHi software.

The H.264 recordings downloaded from the camera can't be played or converted by common applications like VLC.

This software remove the proprietary extensions from the video so can be played on any video player.

This is a port of the C application by Ralph Spitzner, and also based on the original chipcaco written in node-JS by Sven Jacobs

If you are looking for a video player and converter for Windows with Graphical Interface for Chinese Cameras recordings I recomend to use HIP2P Client (from IPCAM XIN).
