Hikvision Plugin For Firefox Mac

All IP cameras require a plugin to display their video stream in a web browser, and normally this poses no issue. The browser and camera will prompt you automatically to download and install the plugin when you try and view a live feed or, if you already have done so, will ask your permission to run the plugin.

Hikvision plugin doesn't work in Firefox We await news of what the manufacturers will do about this now. I'm not optimistic of a quick resolution as we have been waiting for so long for the ability to use any browser (without NPAPI).


Safari on the other hand does not automatically do this when running on a Mac, and so requires you to download and install the plugin manually. For many of our customers who aren't aware of this, it appears to them that their camera simply doesn't work. Thankfully, it's a very quick and straightforward issue to remedy.
There are a couple of places you can download the plugin from:
  • From what I gather this is down to Firefox being awkward so at present something out of our control. It is the same for any web plugin whether it be for Hikvision or anything else. If you are looking for best reliability I'd install iVMS on the PC anyway from HERE.
  • Mac OS X 10.10.5; Firefox 40.0.3; More system details Additional System Details Installed Plug-ins. Creative Cloud Desktop Plugin.v3000 Coupons Inc., Coupon Printing Plugin Provides information about the default web browser The Flip4Mac WMV Plugin allows you to view Windows Media content using QuickTime. Garmin Communicator Plug-in Version.

  • 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.
  • Hikvision's European Download Portal - This site provides a direct download to the same plugin as above. Of course, do ensure you're downloading the 'for macosx' file.
Once you've downloaded the plugin, close your browser and install it. You will be prompted upon reopening your browser to give the plugin permission to run, which you should allow, and afterwards your camera should provide a live view!
