HIK Vision web interface

I just picked up a new HIK DS-2CD2142FWD-IS-4MM and am unable to see the video stream in the web interface either Chrome or Edge. I found some discussion of this from a while back and it seems like an issue with all HIK. Is this still the case? Is there a plug-in or workaround? I guess it really isn't a deal breaker for me since I intend to use the cam in my BlueIris setup and I can see the stream there using the provided BlueIris profile settings for HIK. Main thing I'd use the web interface is for making the cam's native settings which I can do regardless if the stream is visible... but might be useful to see if I change anything that directly affects the video quality. Upgrading to this cam to better ID porch pirates. Had one of those last week that my old ACTi 1MP camera caught. It looks through a screened window so while pretty good the video isn't quite adequate for identification. This higher res HIK will be mounted on my garage door trim so should not suffer from those limitations.
