Tip #1 (if it's not obvious) is to do the export on the local network. Trying it over the internet will probably take more than a day depending on your upload speed.
Tip #2 I don't know your requirements or use-case, but I would try to get away with only exporting original quality of motion events (playback screen switch from timeline to detections then check all the boxes), and then do a timelapse over the whole 8 hour period to get the rest. Unless there is an extreme amount of events (like a public place) then that should cut out a lot of time and data.
The user experience for this type of task is not great with any NVR, though other systems with a USB port might make it a little easier/faster but not by a whole lot. 24 hours of footage is a lot of data, especially with 4k cams.

I wound up doing it manually- it worked fine but was labor intensive and caused my computer to crash once.
I found one guy who had an NVR who SSH’d in, enabled samba and mounted the drive on his local computer (and then he used an old, defunct protect installation to use the embedded file converter (they use a .uvb or some similarly named proprietary container around an .mp4 underbelly)
But the cloud key doesn’t have an SMB service installed like the NVR does, I learned.
Someone else, 3/4 years ago wrote a little program for the CKG2 that does it. But when I went to SCP it over, I psyched myself out over how to reference the file path of the host and local machines, got annoyed, and instead of even trying just went the manual route because I’m a little bitch when there isn’t dumbass documentation available.
But I also learned the ubiquiti will probably be releasing a NAS soon because of the way some people are using their NVR.
