About VSR Files

A .vsr file is a video recording created by select CPCAM digital video recorders (DVRs) used with CCTV security camera systems. VSR files store surveillance footage captured by cameras connected to the recorder and may include video from one or more monitored locations. The format was designed to record, review, and export security footage through compatible CPCAM hardware.

You may encounter .vsr files when retrieving older surveillance recordings from a CPCAM DVR or reviewing exported CCTV footage. Businesses, property owners, security personnel, and surveillance system installers primarily used the format with compatible CPCAM equipment. While few media players support .vsr files, you can open and play them on FileHelper.com by dragging them to this page.
