Automatic Installation of Plug-ins Unit:
1. In order for IE to install the necessary plug-ins required by the DVR, the IE
security settings must be changed to allow the software to be installed. In order
to do this you will need to open an IE browser and go to TOOLS→ INTERNET
OPTIONS → SECURITY tab → CUSTOM LEVEL button. From this window, set
“Download and install unsigned ActiveX controls” and “Initialize and Script
ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” both to Prompt. If you are on
IE version 9 or newer you will also need to disable “Allow ActiveX Filtering.”
2. After adjusting the ActiveX controls, enter the IP address of the DVR in the IE
address bar and press enter. Upon reaching the IP address of the DVR,
Internet Explorer will prompt the user with the installation of an ActiveX add-on.
Proceed with the installation as it directs. Once this is complete, the “User
Login” screen will display.
