How to access and download the ProConnect Archive Viewer
The ProConnect Archive Viewer utility program is used to view video footage exported as an Archive. Exporting video as Archive is typically recommended for exporting or backing up lengthy video clips. It can be installed/used in a Windows-based environment.
Video is exported via the ProConnect Archive viewer in a .VAR video format. Single camera footage can be converted/re-exported through the Archive Viewer in an MP4 format.
