What is a BU file?
A .BU file is typically a proprietary video recording or a backup data file. Many .BU files are Samsung CCTV Video Files generated by Samsung security systems. Other .BU files contain video recordings from ALI Corp set-top boxes or Hikvision surveillance cameras. The .BU extension is also used for backup data. This includes CAD project backups from Allplan, TV channel lists, and Brazilian electronic voting reports.
How to open BU files?
The correct software depends on the file origin. You need the original manufacturer's software to open proprietary DVR video files. If the file is an RTF document backup, you can open it with Microsoft Word. Because .BU has multiple possible meanings, it is difficult to know which program to use. We recommend viewer.online/bu to identify the actual format of the user's file.
Inspect and convert BU files
viewer.online/bu can analyze .BU files to identify the exact format and creator software, inspect the file structure, extract readable text, and check whether an online preview is available. If the .BU file is a video, you can convert it to a sensible target format like .MP4 or .AVI on convert.guru.
Summary
viewer.online/bu is useful for identifying, inspecting, and understanding .BU files without installing software or dealing with compatibility problems.
