Browser
Based Surveillance Software Problems.
Most DVR systems that use a browser instead of a client program for remote
access to the DVR will require Active X components to be installed on your
computer to work properly.
For a lot of people this can be a little confusing to get working because
Windows by default blocks websites from installing Active X controls on
your computer for security reasons.
In order to install the Active X controls you need to manually change your
browser's security settings temporarily to allow the Active X controls to
be installed. Once the controls are installed you will need to set your
browser's security settings back to their default settings.
Instructions for changing your security settings to allows Active X
controls to be installed:

internet options and security and press the DEFAULT LEVEL button to set
your settings back to the way they were.
