How do I open a .dav file?

In the process of trying to upgrade the firmware of my Hikvision NVR which is connected to two security cameras, I have downloaded a 23 MB file called "digicap.dav". The instructions are to unzip this file but my iMac has no application which will do this. I was advised by the online shop which sold me the recorder to download something called "The Unarchiver", but this does not recognise a .dav file. I have been waiting unsuccessfully for a reply from Hikvision.uk following an online request from me for help.

Can anyone from the Mac community help?

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS High Sierra (10.13), 24 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
