I can just assume Axis is currently re-writing their firmware/software to work without ActiveX - what else can they do? At least I understand what's going on. Microsoft is trying to get rid of ActiveX and it's creating multiple problems for hardware that depends on it. Even with EI in compatibility mode it only works 98%. They can be configured in Chrome and IE (I haven't tried Firefox).

ACTi needs to release a fix for this in the next firmware.įWIW this does not happen with any of the E* series cameras. This has never happened to me with the KCM-5611 so I'm guessing IE was updated.

Click the Add button and the full working page should be displayed. A popup will be displayed that allows you to add the IP address. The solution for me was to click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand of IE and select 'Compatibility View settings'. Thanks for the post and answers.I was about 5 mins from taking the camera down to bench test it!!! I was having the exact same problem and what Moe3615 suggested worked for me with Internet Explorer version 11.0.9. Your current method is not only non-portable, but when it fails to work it gives absolutely no indication as to why it's not working, which is frustrating your customers to the point of madness.Ĭonfiguration issues aside, this seems like a really nice camera however, I'm definitely going to have to think long and hard before purchasing another ACTi product. I realize you feel the marketing need to make your embedded web pages look nice and pretty, but there are better ways to accomplish this - just look at Axis, HikVision, Dahua, or just about any of your other competitors to see how this can be done without any of that ActiveX bull****. This may come as a shock to you, but not everyone runs Windows, and not everyone wants to use Internet Explorer.

If anyone from ACTi is reading this and gives a dang, you really need to stop drinking the Microsoft Kool-Aid and come up with a more portable way for users to configure your cameras. Of course, doing this leaves your computer open to all sorts of security exploits, so be sure to restore the original settings prior to surfing the Internet. For the benefit of any future explorers who are trying to resolve similar issues, I basically enabled anything I could find related to running ActiveX controls and anything related to 'compatibility' modes. Axis might cost more, but that extra money allows you to avoid a LOT of hassle.Īfter much futzing with the settings in Internet Exploder (which I don't ordinarily use) I was finally able to configure the camera. I've come to appreciate my Axis cams a lot more in recent weeks. 'admin' not 'Admin' as the documentation suggests), but once you're logged in it simply hangs forever - alas, no help there. I also discovered that the SSH login wants a lower-case 'a' in the username (i.e.

Really annoying and lame! All those people who run OSes other than Windows (MacOS, Linux) are SOL right from the git-go. The IP Utility appears to require the same ActiveX control, so if you can't run the ActiveX control you have no recourse. My guess is the web pages need some sort of ActiveX control in order to function, and that control is not able to run. I even tried the browser on my Kindle Fire.

I tried Firefox, and Chrome on my Android tablet. Tried running them 'As Administrator' and in 'XP Compatibility Mode' with no success. Regarding browsers, I tried Internet Exploder, Chrome, and Firefox (all latest versions) under Windows.
