How to access a Hikvision device in Chrome?
To view your device using the Chrome browser, you must add the IE tab extension to Google Chrome.
Step 1. Open a new tab and click Apps at the top right corner. Or you can type this into your Chrome browser URL box: chrome://apps/.
Step 2. Once you go to your Apps section, from there you click on Web Store (it will bring you to the Chrome apps).
Step 3. Now that the Chrome app store is open, search for “IE Tab” in the search bar (as shown below in the picture below). This extension will let you access the Hikvision devices from Chrome.
Step 4. Click on “Add to Chrome” for the “IE Tab” extension (Chrome app).
Step 5. Once that has clicked, a download file will show up at the bottom of the page. Click the file and then hit “Run” when prompted. In other words, you need to install this extension/app.
Step 6. Now you will have an icon to the far right of the address bar. Click on the icon (which looks like the letter “e”).
Step 7. After this you’ll have a new address bar on your browser. Type in your device’s IP address into it (on the second url bar, the one with the Internet Explorer logo). You can type the IP address or the DDNS of Hikvision NVR, DVR, or even a single IP camera. For example: http://192.168.1.100 or http://myaddress.myddns.com.
Step 8. Log in with your username and password. And you’ll be able to see the live view and the rest of the settings of your Hikvision CCTV device. Note: Install any plugins, if the browser asks you to.

Known problems:
- By default the plugin doesn't use any gpu acceleration due to it not working for everyone, this also means no WebGL support, if you really need that, start OBS Studio with the --enable-gpu argument.
- Https sites don't work: Usually this happens when using Kaspersky, make sure to put obs32 or obs64.exe on the whitelist.
