Hikvision Plugin Fur Mac Os
If it still doesn’t work, try the following:
- Make sure the iOS of the Mac laptop is updated to the latest version. Check it out and the Preference section.
- Update the Safari to the latest releases. A few versions of older Safari may exhibit problems with the plug-in.
- Lastly, in a few cases (not so often though) you need to update the firmware on the Hikvsion recorder (or camera). Some units run on buggy firmware and may not show the picture on Safari.

Hi Guys
I am very new to CCTV and got a 4 camera HikVision 5mp system installed with a DVR-508-K1 3TB hard drive. I know you can access the cameras with an iPhone via the app and a web browser using the IP address on a Windows Browser.
I am having a lot of trouble accessing the cameras via an IP address using all Browsers on a Mac. I have tried, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Chrome with IE extension. I have also tried a download from the Hikvision site. No luck. I have installed the plugins, still no luck.
Surely someone has managed to view the web cams via a browser on a Mac? Please can someone help me?
Thanks
