Can't get live page to work in Chrome.

Chrome now blocks NPAPI plugins. They announced that they were going to do this in May of 2014

The last 10 versions of Chrome allowed you to whitelist plugins bug selecting "Allow plugin" on the top right hand side of the address bar. They've since removed that option and hid it further.
In Chrome 42 (current), You can reenable NPAPI by browsing to chrome://flags/#enable-npapi and clicking Enable NPAPI (the first item).
Note, when Chrome 45 releases in September, they will take this option away as well.

This just happened to me as well when I upgraded. I have gone back to IE and it seems faster now with the latest version. I'll stick to that for now.

Actually a bit unrelated to the original question, but do Hikvision live video / settings page work with OS X?
What a pain in the ass. I noticed the same on my cams on multiple computers, that's why I knew Google was to blame. Thanks, zyphaz, I'll try that workaround.
Does live work work fine in IE 11? I've just never tried it.

IE11 supports my cams fine. However, has anyone else had luck getting their hikvision to work in Chrome with the quicktime, mpeg, or VLC plugins? For MPEG i get a bad image icon at the top left (small one), for vlc and quicktime it says "no plugin detected", but that link that shows doesn't actually do anything to let me get the plugin.
Is it likely that the webmethods plugin (I don't even know who writes it) will be updated soonish?
BTW enabling npapi worked on two of my PCs in chrome, but not on the third, regardless of restarting Chrome. Just the same issue with webmethods, so that PC needs to use IE now.

I also sometimes have issues using Chrome at some websites where Firefox works without problems. But subjectively Chrome is faster than Firefox.
No, IE will still be around for now anyway. They are releasing a second browser called Spartan that will ship in Windows 10, but IE will also be in there so we're safe for now.
I personally do all my camera work in IE even though I use Firefox for everything else. I gave up on Chrome long ago due to constant issues with things not working correctly. I have it installed but never use it, it is very quick but is otherwise too annoying for me to use daily.
This could be a reason for me to go to a dedicated software nvr and access my cameras through them, but I've really done well with the simplified approach of browsing right to them. I have a bookmark in chrome for each one. I will have to start using IE, though
Chrome is being weird lately. I have an FTP site with a username & pass in the bookmark and lately I'm having to plug that in sometimes. Also, Chrome is in the last week loading up my last page every time I open it, despite my smashing its settings over and over telling it to stop doing that.

Just wanted to say big thanks for posting instructions how to enable this because I was not able to find anything online. Chrome v42.
