Hi - Im new to this board and my new Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-K2 / 8P I am trying to connect to my system using a web browser on my Mac using Chrome, Firefox or Safari does not work. Please click here to download plug-in (click to enlarge) This is issue with the Hikvision DVRs, NVRs and cameras is related to the compatibility mode on Internet Explorer and also related to trusted sites. You just need to configure IE and the error will disappear quickly. The solution is easy.
In order to view the Hikvision cameras or NVR/DVR using Safari on a Mac computer, you need to install the Hikvision web plugin made to work on a Mac computer.
Display web pages using IE within Chrome. Use Java, Silverlight, ActiveX, Sharepoint, and more. IE Tab exactly emulates Internet Explorer, and enables you to test your web pages with different versions of IE (IE7 - IE11) Please note that IE Tab for Windows does require the use of a separate executable, ietabhelper.exe.

Step 1. Install the Hikvision web plugin for Mac. Download it from the Hikvision website or from this google drive link. This plugin supports Mac OS 10.8 or later version. Please close the web browsers while you are installing the plugin.
Step 2. Open up the Safari browser. Type your NVR’s IP address into the address bar. For our example, since we are connected to the same network, we will use our NVR’s local IP address: http://92.168.1.33.
If you’re using an HTTP port other than 80, you need to type at the end of the address. For example, if your HTTP port is 82 then you have to type: http://192.168.1.33:82. Log in using your username and password.
Step 3. You should be able to see the live view of your cameras and the rest of the settings.
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.
If still no luck, contact Hikvision USA or the seller/dealer from where you purchased the product.
