The Ultimate Security Camera Guide V1The Ultimate Security Camera Guide V2The Ultimate Security C. If you notice that recently your Chrome browser won't give you the live view, that is probably caused the recent Chrome update, which disable the NPAPI plugin by default. Here is the tweek of how you can change a setting to make sure you can still watch the live view and replay video of your CCTV Camera, IP Cameras, NVR, DVR on your Chrome browser. In theory, if you still have the plug-in somewhere you may still be able to use SeaMonkey but I don’t have the plug-in any longer to try. If you have to have MAC support for your system you could change the recorder out to a HikVision NVR which will work with TruVision cameras and has a Mac version of their IVMS-4200 software. When is a permanent fix going to be applied? Only last week I recommended a colleague purchase a cube camera only to find out after several hours fiddling with Chrome & Firefox it went into a loop asking him for the plugin to be loaded for the 6th time.

Many users want to view their Hikvision cameras or access the DVR/NVR using Google Chrome. What plugin to install on Chrome? How to see a Hikvision camera or NVR using Chrome? Since Hikvision cannot be accessed directly using Google Chrome, you need to do a few tricks. In this step-by-step guide we will show how to access a Hikvision device (IP camera, NVR, DVR) using Google Chrome.
Hikvision Chrome Plugin
And let’s face it, Chrome is better and faster than Internet Explorer. The Hikvision experience will be much more comfortable and smoother if you’re using the Chrome browser. You’ll be able to see the live feed, playback, modify the settings, etc. If you think Mozilla Firefox is better, read the instructions in this link.
How to access a Hikvision device in Chrome?
To view your device using the Chrome browser, you must add the IE tab extension to Google Chrome.
Hikvision Live View Plugin Chrome Mac
Step 1. Open a new tab and click Apps at the top right corner. Or you can type this into your Chrome browser URL box: chrome://apps/.
Step 2. Once you go to your Apps section, from there you click on Web Store (it will bring you to the Chrome apps).
Step 3. Now that the Chrome app store is open, search for “IE Tab” in the search bar (as shown below in the picture below). This extension will let you access the Hikvision devices from Chrome.
Step 4. Click on “Add to Chrome” for the “IE Tab” extension (Chrome app).
Step 5. Once that has clicked, a download file will show up at the bottom of the page. Click the file and then hit “Run” when prompted. In other words, you need to install this extension/app.
Step 6. Now you will have an icon to the far right of the address bar. Click on the icon (which looks like the letter “e”).
Step 7. After this you’ll have a new address bar on your browser. Type in your device’s IP address into it (on the second url bar, the one with the Internet Explorer logo). You can type the IP address or the DDNS of Hikvision NVR, DVR, or even a single IP camera. For example: http://192.168.1.100 or http://myaddress.myddns.com.
Step 8. Log in with your username and password. And you’ll be able to see the live view and the rest of the settings of your Hikvision CCTV device. Note: Install any plugins, if the browser asks you to.
