Ive used Chrome and Edge, Ive logged into my Hikvision cameras and seen the download msg where a picture should be. Ive closed the browser before installing, and Ive left it open. Why does this never let me see what the camera sees?

That is an ActiveX plug-in that is downloaded from the camera and is only for IE (Internet Explorer), not Chromium-based browsers lke Chrome or Edge.

Would you like to know how to run IE in Windows 10 or 11?
 
@castlemark,

How to enable native Internet Explorer in Windows 10 and 11:
  • Open Notepad:
  • Copy then paste the single line of code below into Notepad:
  • CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true
  • Save as OpenIE.vbs
  • Make sure the the file name ends in .vbs not .txt, If it ends in .txt you must rename to .vbs
  • Create a shortcut to the above file and double-click it anytime you want native Internet Explorer.
