How to use “ActiveX CCTV software on android” on my mobile phone?

Asked By laurenz_marvin 0 points N/A Posted on - 10/30/2012

 

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?

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.
