As of the 12th of january 2021 Adobe has actively stopped Flash player support for the majority of browsers..
When you like to adjust the settings of your camera with a recent browser, such as Chrome, then this is still possible.
There are some limitations :
- No live video image in browser (The functionality in the APPS are unchanged, this is browser independent )
- No motion detection zone video preview to setup the motion detection zones.
To make it possible to view live images and see motion detection zones again, we have two options available.
Please note ! : Use the Internet Explorer and Firefox browser in these options only for viewing live images and change settings in your camera. These browsers have not the latest updates. Therefore use your standard browsers, like Chrome and Edge, to surf on the internet!
