Webplugin Nvr

[Geneva Andreotti]

Yesterdaynight I successful connected to my Svat security system using Safari and left the computer on with the browser displaying all the security cameras. Early in the morning at about 3 or 4 AM I was awaken by the computer rebooting I noticed that the OS was updated.

Right now I'm trying to connect to my security system and Safari can't access the server. I went into properties and noticed the ["webplugin" does not support the highest level of security for safari plug-ins] My security system quit working a long time in windows because of plugins so my only option is to use my mac-mini to access the system and now this happens.

I have an old PC with windowsXP and the security camera system works fine in that computer maybe I can use virtualbox and run a copy of XP or an earlier version of OSX and install the security system there.

I have exactly this problem as well. Don't know what DVR system you're using, but I'm on a Swann DVR2600-4. I contacted Swann support today and after they tried to get it to work by reinstalling the HiDVRPluging.dmg package, they finally said that the older DVR wasn't compatible with El Capitan. I impressed upon them that it worked up until 10.11.6, recently upgraded last Friday, and they said it wasn't compatible with that build. Sounded like a cop-out to me . Downgrading to say 10.11.5, which worked(!) is an option, but I'm not at all confident in doing that. I wonder if it is not a compatibility issue with HiDVRPlugin per se, rather a bug/issue with Safari. Why else would it stop working on a minor build update (10.11.5-10.11.6)? I can also say that I'm reticent to attempt a downgrade to 10.11.5, because I don't want to lose anything.

Of course, if I were to report this to Apple, likely as not, I'd be pointed back t the system vendor. Have to admit (albeit not specifically an Apple issue, rather an MS Office issue), I've personally discovered major bugs in the update to MS O365 for Mac in the past 6 months, that cause basic features of Excel, perhaps not widely used) broke and stopped working. As a result I have stopped upgrading my O365 ?.

Mine is a cheap 8 camera SVAT CV301-8CH DVR. I lost PC (windows 7) functionality a long time ago after numerous zero-day IE vulnerabilities showed up in the wild. I guess mickeysoft's fix was just to block and forget about the plugin, same thing for the Chinese manufacturer that want to sell me the newer models.

I hear what you're saying. I actually run a VMWare Win7 virtual machine and yes it works fine in that. It's just a little frustrating that Apple make these wholesale changes apparently removing backward compatibility.

I dont even think Swann is concerned about this. The support a just tried to reinstall HIDVRPlugin and when that didnt work they said El Capitan was incompatible yet it's been working just fine until the 10.11.6 update last week. And of course Apple don't let you easily back out changes.

I agree but eventually all things have a limited life... like you said very frustrating and the worst part is that we had no warning of the changes. At first I thought the security camera system broke until I recalled the computer rebooting at 4AM.

On another note I found that in my appstore purchased items I have OSX Lion and Mountain Lion listed so I downloaded the installation files again (all 9+Gigs) and made a mountain lion virtual machine, the web client is working fine under mountain lion too ?

I have this issue too and when I enabled the Developer tools in Safari I could see lots of errors stating the scripts had been blocked. As a result of a security fix in Safari 9.1.2 it appears that Apple automatically sandboxes any pages that come over HTTP/0.9 and as a result blocks the scripts. This stops the Swann DVR webclient.html page from rendering in the browser. Rolling back to an earlier version of Safari would expose me to the cross-site scripting attack this is designed to prevent, which I don't want. If anyone at Apple knows how you can add sites to by-pass this security check so that I could add my Swann DVR IP address to an exception list and access my DVR it would be great. Changing the Swann web client HTML would require a firmware update to the DVR box I think.

When I try to access the NVR through the IExplorer or Chrome browsers by entering the IP address, I see the login screen and it attempts to download the webplugin.exe file. It's a consistent FAIL because of the version of my OS. I'm running Win 7 Pro 64 bit with Service Pack 1 installed.

I have seem issues like this and it turns out to be the Antivirus software ( If running one). I will try to uninstall the webplugin.exe then turn off your antivirus for a moment then install the plugging.

I have found this to be Internet Explorer security settings about 90% of the time. If you have not done this = Open Internet Explorer and click the 'gear' icon at the top right - Choose 'Internet Options'. When that opens - go to the 'Security' tab (2nd tab at top) Look for a 'Custom Level' button and click it. Now you are looking at a list of .Net entries - scroll down to the ActiveX entries.

Find 'Download unsigned ActiveX controls' and set to 'Prompt'.

Find 'Initialize and script ActiveX controls (not marked safe for scripting) and set to 'Prompt'

Save your way out of that dialog, and enter the IP address of the DVR into the address bar of Internet Explorer. When the login prompt appears - stop - go to the Internet Explorer 'Gear' icon again and this time choose 'Compatibility View Settings'. When that dialog appears - click the 'Add' button so your IP address appears in the lower box. Close that dialog.

Now - run the ActiveX add-ons and it should work.

I can`t use RoyalTSX to manage vCenter and ESX today via html5 interface. Safari webplugin isnot supported by VMware because lack of full html5 compatibility. For example,tasks are not displayed, blue screen instead of login prompt in esxi.

Unfortunately there's no Chrome framework on macOS that we could use to integrate Chrome into Royal TSX without major effort and a huge increase in download size and performance impact for the whole app.

On the webpage about Royal TSX 4.0 Beta you have written "Web connections can now be used in Chrome and Firefox browser extensions". I installed this version but I cant find Chrome extension. How can I install them?

How about a plug-in based on Firefox's engine instead of Chrome (I like Chrome as a browser but it does 'do it's own thing' a bit too much)? As the others have noted, not being able to use the vSphere HTML5 client in Royal TXS is a pain, especially when I can manage pretty much everything else from TSX (which I really like!).

I think when I have a few moments to spin up a lab environment I'll try using TSX with the Webkit plugin, I see I can set a custom UI string in the plug-in so I could make the message go-away and see how things work.
