- Why don't you just say that there is no HIK-Connect app for a pc. The link directs you to a misleading add heavy site. Carefully read the whole page and don't click on an add that will install something you DON'T want.
- The web plugin does not work with many internet browsers anymore, ever since certain protocols have become unsupported. The only way I can get the plugin working is to use Microsoft Internet Explorer (11.124), which is probably not that useful for considering you are a MAC user!
- The ALL In Learning Browser Plugin and Chrome Extension allow you to use clickers, grade, and do other activities in ALL In Learning. Installation is quick and can usually be done by teachers without admin rights or IT help.

How to access a Hikvision device on Safari?
In order to view the Hikvision cameras or NVR/DVR using Safari on a Mac computer, you need to install the Hikvision web plugin made to work on a Mac computer.
Sep 18, 2018 for us - it's broken - waiting for a new plugin You can access your Hikvision cameras using the Chrome browser on your Mac. But the maximum resolution it'll show is 1920 x 1080 (looks horrible on a 5K iMac). And, the Playback function seems to be missing.
Step 1. Install the Hikvision web plugin for Mac. Download it from the Hikvision website or from this google drive link. This plugin supports Mac OS 10.8 or later version. Please close the web browsers while you are installing the plugin.
Step 2. Open up the Safari browser. Type your NVR’s IP address into the address bar. For our example, since we are connected to the same network, we will use our NVR’s local IP address: http://92.168.1.33.
If you’re using an HTTP port other than 80, you need to type at the end of the address. For example, if your HTTP port is 82 then you have to type: http://192.168.1.33:82. Log in using your username and password.
Step 3. You should be able to see the live view of your cameras and the rest of the settings.
If it still doesn’t work, try the following:
- Make sure the iOS of the Mac laptop is updated to the latest version. Check it out and the Preference section.
- Update the Safari to the latest releases. A few versions of older Safari may exhibit problems with the plug-in.
- Lastly, in a few cases (not so often though) you need to update the firmware on the Hikvsion recorder (or camera). Some units run on buggy firmware and may not show the picture on Safari.
If still no luck, contact Hikvision USA or the seller/dealer from where you purchased the product.
