I have some generic DVR system from China. It allows remote viewing via Android and iPhone apps which work perfectly. The problem is it will only work with one browser, which is Internet Explorer. Apparantly it has something to do with activex yadda yadda. I detest Internet Explorer. I'm frustrated I'm being forced to use it to access my DVR from my PC.
If I can access the DVR from my smartphones, none of which run Internet Explorer or activex, why can I not access it from my computer without Internet Explorer? Smartphones are just small computers. What am I missing? Is there an "app" I can use? I know I can run an Android emulator and then install and run that way, but that to me is silly.
Any suggestions?
Here is a link to the manual for the DVR http://www.mailingfromchina.com/litb/Downfile/325408&325409_Manual.pdf
