Live

In this step-by-step guide, we will show how to access a Hikvision device (IP camera, NVR, DVR) using Safari. You’ll be able to see the live feed, playback, modify the settings, etc. For other browsers, read the instructions about viewing the cameras on Google Chrome or Firefox.

How to access a Hikvision device on Safari?

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.

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.

So it seems as of last week Firefox released a new version (52) which pretty much breaks all browser plugins apart from Flash (which is what rendered Chrome useless for this not so long ago). This means you may keep trying to install the WebComponents plugin but it does nothing. Thankfully there is a fix:
How to use Firefox v52 to live view Hikvision device HikvisionMac
1. Install the plug in first.
2. Open a blank page of Firefox and input about:config (where you normally type the web address)
3 Press Enter. Click on the, “I Accept the Risk” Button.
4. You will then be in the plugin section of Firefox.
Right click, then go to NEW from the dropdown list. You will have 3 options to choice from, you will need to select Boolean. Once you have done that, you will need to type the plugin name:
plugin.load_flash_only
Click OK and choose “false” for the VALUE.
5. Exit firefox and reload the DVR/NVR web interface to 'accept' to run the plugin at the top of the page (all being well).
There were a few other steps recommended past this, but we have found this alone to do the trick.
