And let’s face it, Chrome is better and faster than Internet Explorer. The Hikvision experience will be much more comfortable and smoother if you’re using the Chrome browser. You’ll be able to see the live feed, playback, modify the settings, etc. If you think Mozilla Firefox is better, read the instructions in this link.

Step 2. Once you go to your Apps section, from there you click on Web Store (it will bring you to the Chrome apps).
