The DVR Model is an Nuvico NVJV 4000. I have had it for 3 or 4 years now so it is not a newer model. I can connect to the DVR no problem then Internet Explorer loads an add on called "PdvrOcx Class ver 1.0.2.2" which is an active x control. The DVR connection goes thru but the camera images are just black boxes. I have tried using firefox but it does work either. Are you indicating that the newer DVRs do not use active x to display via the web? I could not find a link that worked for any of the portable IE 6 versions which did not require an installation.
