This video will show you how to install the Web Plugin for Safari on you MAC OSX computerWebsitehttp://www.miecctv.co.uk/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/mie. Hikvision's Overseas Website - On this site, you're after the file named 'Plug-in V3.0.5.26 build20150126 for Mac OS' (or a newer version). You may need to create an account to access the download, and so the below might be a preferable alternative. Earlier Chrome had a “Allow sites to run Flash” option, which is removed in latest Mac Chrome version. So there are no ways to enable Flash on Chrome on all the sites by default. This is a clear indication that the “Flash” section will be removed soon from the Chrome to encourage sites to use HTML5. The latest Mac plugins for HikVision should be available from the European portal here: DOWNLOAD PORTAL The latest Mac version of IVMS-4200 is available here (sorry, the Mac version is mixed in with the Windows versions - look for the most recent dated update): DOWNLOAD PORTAL.
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
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.

Update 7/24/20: Interlogix has removed the plug-in from their website and when I reached out to tech support they informed me that because one of the recent iOS updates broke plug-in support they stopped supporting MAC. In theory, if you still have the plug-in somewhere you may still be able to use SeaMonkey but I don’t have the plug-in any longer to try. If you have to have MAC support for your system you could change the recorder out to a HikVision NVR which will work with TruVision cameras and has a Mac version of their IVMS-4200 software.
Update 12/5/18: Interlogix has just released a Web Browser Technical Note that addresses the lack of ActiveX support in many current browsers, including Safari for MAC. Here is a link to the note:TruVison Products Web Browser Access Technical Note-EN. The bottom line is that for PCs the best option is to use TruVision Navigator software. If you need to use a browser you will use Internet Explorer or Chrome with the IETab extension. For MAC you will want to use the SeaMonkey browser along with loading the current MAC plug-in from the Interlogix site.
Update 10/1/18: The newest update for the Safari browser for MAC (v12) has broken the TruVision compatability, even with the Safari Plug-In. The Interlogix engineers are working on getting this fixed. Until this gets fixed you can still access the cameras using the iOS app on your iPhone or iPad.
Update 9/28/18: There is now a version 3.0 as well which is used for the new TVN-11 and TVN-71.
Interlogix has updated their plug-in to allow you to access your favorite TruVision recorders from your Mac computers using the Safari browser. This latest version (2.0) fixes an issue with viewing cameras above 2MP and allows you to use your Mac to setup motion detection zones. See the below video for a tutorial on downloading and installing the latest plug-in but make sure to use the latest version rather than 1.0 that is shown in the video.
