Greetings!

I have a 4-channel camera system, with a DVR that I didn't realize
(when I purchased it, last year) that would display on only Microsoft's
Internet Explorer web browser. (I use Linux and prefer Firefox.) I had
never done anything like this before, and there was a lot I didn't know.

This is for home. (I'm investigating the supercircuits.com DMR5, and
anything else that I could possibly find out whether they will work with
Firefox or other good web browsers and not "break the bank".) :)

Back then, I decided I would keep it, for a backup DVR, but next
year, I would see if I could afford another DVR (that would display on
other web browsers) and that one could become my "main" DVR. I'm hoping
to find one now I can afford.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'm unfortunately finding
web sites where DVRs match "any" or "standard" web browser that when I ask
directly at the manufacturer's web site, and get a reply, only work with
IE.

Thank you for any help you can give me!

I have ordered a Swann...

Greetings again!

I haven't received any replies via this forum. I have been unable to determine whether the DVR I mentioned above would work with any web browser.

Yesterday, I ordered (to be shipped to me) a Swann SW242-SR6 DVR that DOES allow viewing live and playback in web browsers such as Firefox.

When it arrives, I'll be glad to help anyone who may have any questions about it.

Howdy - How's the Swann working out?

They seem to have decent customer support - I asekd about an eBay item once - I forget the question - it was in relation to their affordable DVR. They are out of Australia - I think I needed confirmation that their particular model was NTSC-friendly. Back atcha : )
