Access Zmodo DVR by something OTHER than Internet Explorer?

Recommended Posts

According to Zmodo, our new 8-channel, Zmodo H.264 DVR will only allow remote access via an installed ActiveX plugin and Internet Explorer. The staff has experience using RASAdmin and I'd like to configure the new system to work with that again, if possible.

 

Intuitively, it seems to me that RASAdmin should work. Input IP Address and port, etc.... and set-up port forwarding on the router, enter account username and password and RASAdmin should work but it does not. And Zmodo claims that Internet Explorer is the only software that will work.

 

But I doubt this. Our previous DVR (something called a "Falcon") looked and worked almost exactly the Zmodo, and I can't help but wonder if Zmodo isn't lying because they don't want to have to answer support questions. Their ActiveX control is unsigned by the publisher, and that feels wrong to me, I don't trust them and would like to see if RASAdmin or some other software can be made to work.

 

Thanks in advance.

A lot of systems that have built-in 'clientless' viewers need IE and activex. And the not signed control doesn't surprise me either. It's why you have to MAKE sure that IE isn't used for browsing anything other than the dvr or you'll gunk up the computer with all sorts of malware quick.
