EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

Hmmm I dont honestly know....
 
Thanks ... but ... it's saying "webplugin.exe" ... which I presume is for a MS version of windows, only?

The plug-in only works for Internet Explorer.

Yeah we know but it is still available.

How to enable native Internet Explorer in Windows 10 and 11:
  1. Open Notepad:
  2. Copy then paste the single line of code below into Notepad:
  3. CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true
  4. Save as OpenIE.vbs
  5. Make sure the the file name ends in .vbs not .txt, If it ends in .txt you must rename to .vbs
  6. Create a shortcut to the above file and double-click it anytime you want native Internet Explorer
  7. Download any of the plug-in the NVR or camera asks for.

I'm trying to access the NVR GUI from my phone - it's no problem to access from Firefox on a computer.
Might I need to use something like AnyDesk - so that my phone browser functions as a terminal?
 
Do you have a computer in the house?

Or tried different web browsers on android?

Maybe dolphin or sideload PaleMoon


I'm, apparently, being unclear.

I have no problem at all on my two Linux laptops.

I have an Android phone from which I want to access the NVR.

From what I've read the provided NVR app may create some security flaws & I don't like apps in general.

I get that something like RustDesk is an app (on a phone) but it's FOSS approved and available via the F-Driod store (which I trust).

(It will also provide access to some other things on my home network - so, it's versatile.)

I've been researching all that, just now, and will give it a try and report back.

Thanks.
 
Oh ok that is different. I thought you were trying to set up the system via a mobile device.

What about a remote program to log in to one of your computers (provided it is on all the time)?

That's what I think RustDesk will do - it's like AnyDesk and NoMachine. It's supposed to work on pretty much any OS (I need Android and Linux compatability).
