Question


When I try to log into my camera using Internet Explorer I can not see any video from my camera. How do I configure my internet options to enable Active X?

Answer


If IE is configured to not let you install unverified software it might block ActiveX when you try to view your IP camera via IE.

See http://www.windowsreference.com/internet-explorer/windows-has-blocked-this-software-because-it-cant-verify-the-publisher/ for more information on this problem.

Here are the steps to enable Active X controls:

  1. Open Internet Explorer, click Tools – Internet Options .
  2. Click the Security tab – Custom Level button.
  3. Under ActiveX ensure the following are set to enabled
    Run ActiveX and plug-ins – Enabled
    Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting – Enabled
  4. Set the following to “Prompt ”
    Download unsigned ActiveX Control – Prompt
    Download Signed ActiveX Control – Prompt
    Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe – Prompt
  5. Click OK and Apply and OK. Restart the browser.
