The active x control doesn't work well with IE9.

So either uninstall IE9 and get back IE8 or see if there is a firmware update for your cameras. The new firmware has an updated active x control :wink:

At the top of the IE address bar, you will see a icon that looks like a broken page. Click that, it is compatibility mode, see if that gets it working for you. :wink:

I have also seen other IE add on's get int he way, so we may need to disable some of those and find the one getting in the way.

Ok try this,
Close IE, go to the control panel and then open internet Options.
Once that is open go to the advanced tab, at the bottom is a reset tab, hit it and have it reset IE back to defaults.

Once that is done open IE, go to tools and manage on adds. And disable everything you don't need, normally keeping java and adobe enabled. Restart IE.

Now try the camera again :wink:
