Sounds infuriating. I would have assumed most of these use h.264 because of how ubiquitous it is.

I am guessing this is by design so when you really need it, you'll use their software and need to pay to use it?

I guess. I tried everything within reason to play it. VLC, mpv, windows media player etc. all with various degrees of failure. Even went down a rabbit hole of trying codecs from websites that looked frozen in time from the late 90's, as it was an old cam system.
