PC Only: Troubleshooting Internet Explorer Settings
On PCs, Sharx Security cameras are compatible with Internet Explorer 9 – 11 as
well as Edge, Chrome, Firefox or Safari. The following troubleshooting info is
only for Internet Explorer
. For all other browsers, please refer to page 32.
If you find that your Internet Explorer window looks oddly shifted
, please
check the zoom level / magnification of your browser. It should be at 100% for
proper viewing of the camera since Internet Explorer cannot zoom a live video
stream. You get to the zoom menu through the gear icon at the top right:
Click on the gear icon, then select Zoom 100%
If you have 3 dots here, you are using Edge and not
Internet Explorer, so this section would not apply
If you used “refresh” and have a black video
screen, close and restart the
Internet Explorer window since it cannot refresh a live video stream.
If the camera has trouble installing the required ActiveX software
, it could be
due to one of the following reasons:
1)
If you have nonstandard Internet Explorer settings, your should reset your
Internet Explorer to defaults by going to the Tools menu or the gear
shaped settings icon, then Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset…
2)
If this is a work environment where your IT department has set restrictive
settings, ask them to temporarily lower the restrictions so that you can
install the Sharx Security ActiveX. Installation is only required once.
3)
If your computer has separate icons for the standard Internet Explorer and
the 64 bit version, please be sure to use only the standard icon, not the 64
bit version. On Windows 8 and 8.1 please note that you must start
Internet Explorer from the traditional desktop, not the tiled interface.
4)
If you have old or overly aggressive Antivirus or Firewall software we
recommend that you uninstall that software and use the free Microsoft
Security Essentials instead. Similarly, be sure that you do not have any
popup blocker software such as the ones bundled with Google, MSN, Bing
or Yahoo toolbars. With a popup blocker it could be that you would miss
the question about whether it’s ok to install the Sharx ActiveX, and as a
result it would not get installed and you wouldn’t see video.
