Often times people network their DVR correctly but Internet Explorer blocks Active X controls and other programs that need to run in order for you to view your DVR or IP Cameras. Below is the fix.

First open your Internet Explorer Browser and at the top menu click on <Tools> and then on <Internet Options>. A screen called Internet Options will open. This screen has several tabs at the top.

Select <Trusted Sites> and click <Sites> to specify its security setting.



Uncheck <Require Server Verification (https:) for all sites in this zone> to disable.

Type the IP address of the DVR or IP camera in the <Add this Web site to the zone field> then click <Add>



Click <OK> to confirm the setting and close Trusted sites dialog and to return to Security Settings.

Now that you are back in Security Settings click on the <Custom Level> button that is right above the OK button. You should see this.



Under All ActiveX controls and plugins, set all item to <Enable> or <Prompt>.

Click <OK> to accept these settings and close the <Security> screen.

Click <OK> to close Internet Options dialog.
