Hikvision Plug In Mac Chrome

 

So it seems as of last week Firefox released a new version (52) which pretty much breaks all browser plugins apart from Flash (which is what rendered Chrome useless for this not so long ago). This means you may keep trying to install the WebComponents plugin but it does nothing. Thankfully there is a fix:
How to use Firefox v52 to live view Hikvision device

Hikvision’s solution was to use alternate, not-as-secure browsers. They further committed to produce updated firmware. Years later, Hikvision has yet to address this issue with a firmware release. Because of no NPAPI support in Chrome (and most other browsers), this caused problems for vendors like Hikvision. This is the web plugin for Mac OS. After installation, you will be able to live view most of Hikvision DVR/IPC/Encoder on Safari for Mac. 1 Version: V3.0.6.23 build20180123 2 Support Mac OS 10.8 or later version.

  1. I am having installed HIKVISION CCTV camera. When I am trying to play CCTV videos in my browser after logging in CCTV web panel, it is asking me to install the plugin to play video. I have installed successfully and still not working. I tried after restarting the browser too, still not working. I am attaching a screenshot of it: Please Help.
  2. In theory, if you still have the plug-in somewhere you may still be able to use SeaMonkey but I don’t have the plug-in any longer to try. If you have to have MAC support for your system you could change the recorder out to a HikVision NVR which will work with TruVision cameras and has a Mac version of their IVMS-4200 software.
  3. (NOTE: Safari 12 and above on OS system will no longer support plugin(s), and a non-plugin solution would be available at the end this year with limitations similar to Windows).

1. Install the plug in first.
2. Open a blank page of Firefox and input about:config (where you normally type the web address)
Hikvision browser plugin chrome mac3 Press Enter. Click on the, “I Accept the Risk” Button.
4. You will then be in the plugin section of Firefox.

Right click, then go to NEW from the dropdown list. You will have 3 options to choice from, you will need to select Boolean. Once you have done that, you will need to type the plugin name:
plugin.load_flash_only
Click OK and choose “false” for the VALUE.
5. Exit firefox and reload the DVR/NVR web interface to 'accept' to run the plugin at the top of the page (all being well).
There were a few other steps recommended past this, but we have found this alone to do the trick.
