Hi
Right after an update of IOS to 10.13.6 on my macbook, I cannot watch live view any more.
I have a VCR HIKVISION DS-7204HUHI-F2 / N, on my Macbook, the only browser able to display was Safari (both live and records), none of other browser worked. As of today none of them works any more, only my Android mobile is left to watch.

Who knows any kind of browser (Mac or windows) and the corresponding plugins?
Thanks in advance for your comments. Sigi

Ive got the same issue, downloaded the plugin, but still the same... Anyone else facing this?
 
Same issue here. LTS NVR/camera owner on a Mac. Safari 12 does not support NPAPI plugins. The WebVideoPlugin is an NPAPI plugin and will not run in Safari 12.

NPAPI Plugins - Google Chrome

Now, I'm trying to set up NVMS7000 but it appears the way I have my NVR set up, I can't see the cameras. Anyone have any alternatives?

Edit: Looks like there is now a separate thread for this issue: Safari 12 release breaks Web Plugin

Apparently not the way I have my NVR set up (or I haven't been able to figure it out yet). My set up...

The LAN port of my NVR is connected to an ethernet port on my router set up as a dedicated VLAN.
NVR IP Address is an address on my VLAN
Cameras (connected to POE ports on NVR) have IP addresses assigned via DHCP on NVR that are on a totally different subnet from the VLAN

What I'd like to do is turn off the routing capability of the NVR and just use it as a POE switch with network addresses defined/assigned on the VLAN.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

From what I have been reading, it cannot be done. The HIK NVR PoE Switch does not like to have the same address as your network.

What I ended up doing was add a PoE Switch to my network and plug my cameras into that and have no cameras directly connected to my NVR.
Surprisingly my web viewing of the cameras is quicker than what they were through the NVR.
