Latest update on by Aoife McCambridge .

In this article you will learn how to allow the download and installation of unsigned ActiveX controls on Internet Explorer.

Note: You might need to enable this option when trying to access the cameras of a DVR system via Internet explorer. In most cases IE will prevent the installation of the Activex.cab file required to access the DVR system.

The procedure is as follows:

  • Open Internet Explorer.

  • In the menu that opens, scroll to "Download unsigned ActiveX controls" and select "Enable".
  • Click on Ok to validate and close the Settings window.
