I have an Hikvision DS-2cd2047G1-L used to work no issues using the IE chrome extension also worked on edge. Then I started getting this 404 error. I have an old windows 7 laptop with native IE was able to get the camera's webpage to come up no issues. I updated the firmware to the lates says the camera is disconnected.

Maybe after the upgrade, your router assigned a new IP address. Look at your router's DHCP leases and see if you can find a new IP for the GUI.
It should at least display:

I can still get to it with the windows 7 laptop running the native IE same IP. The edge IE extension I get the certificate error then when I accept get the 404 error.
 
Tried that also same thing with Chrome, and Opra seems like something has changes with an update. I think I'll just sell the camera on eBay going to get rid of all my Hikvision cameras. I by a different brand that supports any browser.
Newer cams support modern browsers using stream over Websockets. Tbh your should work aswell if you upgrade your fw

I can get the streams to work with camera software I'm using sighthound also other software. I just want to be able to get to the web interface of the camera.
 
IE is still buried in the OS and you can still use it by creating a simple VBS script file in note and saving it as a .vbs.

Open notepad, paste
Code:
CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true

Chose Save As.. and from the drop down box save as type, select "All Files" and remove .txt and save as .vbs
