Viewing a IP camera from a Mac

[Hipnomac]

I recently had a High Resolution IP Camera set up at a offsite location.

The company that set it up gave me an IP addresss to log in to see the pictures streaming.

The problem is the address only works with Interent Explorer.

Is there anyway to emulate IE without installing windows, or run a similar program to view the image. I'm looking NOT to buy extra software.

It does not work with Safari or Firefox. I also tried Firefox on a windows machine and it did not work.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You could try this. All I did was Google IE on a Mac and found this. Don't know anything about it.

I have some IP cameras and they work fine with Firefox. Another idea is can you VNC into a Windows PC? PITA but a work around.

You could turn on the Develop menu in Safari and then change the User Agent to IE. See if that'll work.

Where is that menu located?

You could turn on the Develop menu in Safari and then change the User Agent to IE. See if that'll work.

Thanks,
I tried this, but to no luck, it displays the page but not the image.

Thanks for your help though.

Safari->Preferences->Advanced->Show Develop Menu

Sounds like the site is using ActiveX, which can't be run on Mac. You'll need BootCamp or Parallels (or other virtual machine software) that can run Windows and IE. Or ask them to make the site better.
