Any thoughts on the following? I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Windows 10 appears to have a new browser called Microsoft Edge. I am unable to see Live View when opening my Hikvision cams (DS-2CD2032-I 5.3.0) with Microsoft Edge. It keeps requesting me to download and install the plug-in (webcomponents). I have uninstalled webcomponents and re-installed it multiple times with Edge closed. I get the same request every time I try to open with Edge and Live View is not available. I am able to see Live view when I use IE 11 and Google Chrome.
My response today to this oft-asked question about which browsers will still work with HikVision: Internet Explorer is the surefire solution – most reliable. Edge does not work. I use Chrome all day every day vie the IEtab extension - Hikvision's plugin for Google Chrome is unsupported You can only use Firefox if you stick at their ESR release version - Hikvision plugin doesn't work in Firefox Safari on a Mac should be fine. Update on Safari 19th September 2018: Apple Safari 12 and Hikvision cameras
