What is an IM_ file

IM_ files mostly belong to Intellex Video Management System. IM_ files are used in video surveillance systems to store security camera recordings. They are generated by the Intellex Video Management System and sometimes by iSentry.
This file format encodes continuous video data in a proprietary style that typical media players cannot open.

Open files with the official Intellex software.

Files can include metadata like timestamps.

They are used specifically for recording and reviewing security events.

IM_ file extension format:

To view or edit IM_ files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the IM_ files looks like this:

IM_ is not a common file extension and predominantly uses a uniform format. But the following two file formats are common:

• 95% of all IM_ files start with the magic bytes NTLX, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. A typical file size is 28 MB. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. The files contain the following words: NTLX and INTELLEX. These files are attributed to siggrou, incident, entry, fraud, theft and exit.

The remaining 5% of all IM_ files are different files with different signatures. You can get all the details of your IM_ file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .im_ file to analyze" above.
