Most of this is coppied from another forum but it hits the nail on the head for me.
It seems that the (boolean) work around for FireFox has come to an end. I can no longer remote into my clients from my PC.
The work around did work with my HikVisions on the latest Firefox, but will definitely NOT work for future releases of FireFox. And to not update the browsers leaves one possibly vulnerable to security issues.
And despite some indications from conversations on other forums, Internet Explorer does NOT work either, nor does Chrome.
I haven't found a solution for the future on the Hikvision home page for English language.
I haven't found a solution for the future on a general Google search, despite trying various key phrases.
Questions:
a) Are those of us with considerable time and money and setup using these cameras out of luck for the future?
b) Has anyone talked with sellers of Hikvision or to Hikvision itself as to the future solution, if there is one?
c) How are us who have clients supposed to remote view their NVR's now.
d). What do you tell your clients that can't access their work NVR's from home now?
I would think that as popular as this brand and method used by other brands too, that a solution would be already available, since Mozilla had announced a year or more ago that they were going to get rid of plug ins all together.
I also would suppose that since this is a big company that they aren't going to want to just throw in their hand and quit trying to compete for the IP streaming cam's market.
I see lots of discussion here and there, all of it rather old, and other than Mac's temporary fix, nothing is promising. Numerous comments have been made about using IE, which as I noted is no longer working, either.
Thoughts? Helpful ideas? Discussion?
Thanks. Getting a bit frustrated at this lack of solution from an otherwise very nice company.
