4.4.3. Web Operation
NPAPI plugins have been recently depreciated by most mainstream web browsers such as Google Chrome, Outlook, and Firefox.
Currently, our team is pursuing a solution to this, however, as a primary means of accessing the web user interface for your
Amcrest device in a web browser, we recommend using Internet Explorer. Other browser will also be functional such as, the
Amcrest Web View app for Google Chrome, a previously released version of Mozilla Firefox, such as Firefox 49.0.2, or Safari 11.
As an alternative, other secondary browsers will also be functional for the web user interface such as, SeaMonkey, and Pale
Moon web browsers. SeaMonkey is compatible with Windows and Mac and is free to use, Pale Moon is only compatible with
Windows and Linux systems. Conversely, both browsers will require the use of a plugin like other web browsers.
Note: Pale Moon users, please use the 32-bit version of the browser as the 64-bit version may be incompatible with our plugins.
You can also use the Amcrest Cloud to access your device from your computer. Amcrest Cloud does not require the use of a
plugin to function and is compatible on most modern browsers. For more information on the Amcrest Cloud, visit
amcrest.com/cloud.
Web Access for Safari and Mac Users
Most current versions of Safari do not support NPAPI plugins. Certain browsers, such as Safari 11, may be compatible, however,
would require the user to revert from their current version of Safari to Safari 11. Amcrest has devised ways Mac users can enjoy
their Amcrest products on their computers without the hassle of dealing with plugins with software such as Amcrest Blue Iris and
Surveillance Pro.
Conversely, MacOS Mojave may be the last operating system to support 32-bit apps, such as, Amcrest Surveillance Pro. For this
reason, it is highly advised for Mac users to take advantage of such options as the Google Chrome Extension app, Amcrest Blue
Iris, Mozilla Firefox version 49.0.2., and SeaMonkey. Each of these methods of web-based access will be covered in the sections
provided.
How to Install SeaMonkey
SeaMonkey is a free and open-source internet browser that serves as an excellent means of implementing the plugins required to
access your device via a web browser. SeaMonkey is compatible for both Windows and Mac Operating Systems. It is a
continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite and is based on the same source code which itself grew out of Netscape
Communicator and formed the base of Netscape 6 and Netscape 7.
To download SeaMonkey on your computer, visit https://www.SeaMonkey-project.org/releases/ Select the download that
applies to your computer and begin the installation process.
Click on the downloaded SeaMonkey Setup file and run the setup wizard. For purposes of these instructions we will be using
Windows, however, the Mac setup process will be similar. Click Next to proceed.
