EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser

[bigredfish]

By the way, I have tried this on multiple computers. Is it possible that the lastest firmware update screwed the NVR up?

I run the same NVR just the 16. But I dont update FW unless someone holds me at gunpoint.

I'm running V4.002.0000000.7.R, Build Date: 2024-07-17

That one is kinda mandatory due to security issues prior to that, anything after that I can't be certain.

Well crap, I can't even find where to check the version I am running now. Is there a way to roll firmware back?

Its under "Maintain"

I think you can if you're still running V4... there was a later Octover 24 release that i think is ok, lemme see if I can find it

DSS Express is free for up to 64 cams

When in doubt reboot and pour a glass of Knob Creek 9 or Weller 12

I hear ya. I live on a lake, the NVR may become a new anchor. This is just ridiculous. I will do a hard boot later tonight and see what it does in the morning. I am worn out on this thing.

There’s something unique going on with your setup. I can assure you installing SmartPSS lite is typically very simple. Have installed it for a lot of folks.

As to the NVR playback, I think you’re seeing remnants of what a few of us went through last week when we were getting the white screen and no video . There was some kind of Win11 update (or mebbe Edge specific update?) in conjunction with a new plugin (viewer thingy) by Dahua on newer UI5 cameras.

I deleted the plugin folder from Torch and had to reboot 2x to get things to settle down

So if I delete the torch directory it should reload? By the way, I have a funny workaround. I open one session in Edge and the other in IE. I can find what I want by viewing in Edge and then cut from the instance running in IE. There's more than one way to skin this cat.
