We recommend users to access IP cameras/NVRs/NVRs with IE browsers. After the installation of ActiveX plugin, users can watch live video and config the settings with IE browser. However, Windows 10 and Apple computers (Mac OS) can not support the IE, in this case, users can install the VMS software which has been provided by the suppliers. The attached free VMS software can not only enable users to watch multiple video feeds, but also config the device’s settings remotely.
If you still insist on accessing the device through Firefox, then you have to tweak the browser’s settings. Herein we show you how to solve the problem with Hikvision video viewing in Firefox browser.
