I had my house installed with CCTV system that records to a digital video recorder (DVR). In accessing into DVR, it has a facility that allows me monitor what's happening by the use of internet when I'm away, but it seems I can only access the web address via Internet Explorer, as the system use ActiveX control.
Is there other way to access my system more conveniently and less hassle? Can I view my cameras via ActiveX controls using my Android mobile phone?
How to use “ActiveX CCTV software on android” on my mobile phone?
Hi Laurenz,
Find below the answer to your question,
I want you to know that ActiveX is meant for running software components within windows and internet explorer. It is a proprietary Microsoft Technology. Thus, ActiveX is not available on Android devices. It is not also possible for you to replace your DVR’s software with different software.
Tech Tip : Get one click remote access to all your android apps on any device(PC/Mac/android/iOS) by loading Bluestacks onto citrix xendesktop available at an affordable citrix xendesktop pricing. You can also access complete MS office suite on the same xendesktop with O365CloudExperts.
I hope I have answered your question.
