According to the spec sheets on both cameras they say the web gui works on Safari. Can anyone confirm that it actually does, especially setting IVS lines?

Just because it says it doesn't mean it actually works LOL. We have seen many people come here and make settings in one browser and open up IE and it shows completely different.

I had trouble making settings for the PTZ5A4M-25X in Safari on my Mac. Switched over to the Google Chrome browser and that works well. Just now tried logging into the camera in Safari, and it seems to have solved the problems I had been having. I am running OS Tahoe 23.6.1. I successfully drew some triplines and an intrusion area, and they work as expected.

Perfect. Thank you

Well I’d rather ask for others experiences and how it reacts before diving in.

I will add that what Wittaj stated is correct with several cameras. Besides the PTZ5A4M-25X which I use now, I also have a couple SD49225XA-HNR PTZ's that show as if they work with Safari and Chrome on a Mac, but the settings (like tracking duration) don't hold, and in fact; some settings on the screen remain hidden. I could only set them up correctly after purchasing a mini PC and using Internet Explorer. The PTZ5A4M-25X seems to be working fine with my Mac, although as noted above, sometimes the Mac OS updates cause problems. I think PTZ5A4M-25X is a great camera, and nothing else comes close in price with its ability in low light at night.

Good info. I think we all wish that they could make the compatibility with browsers much more reliable.
