Is anybody using a Mac book to connect to their Dahua camera for setting up?
I tried chrome with its plug-in and its buggy, some settings wont save and you cant see tripwire or intrusion lines.
Safari and firefox it wont down load plug-in
Anybody get a Mac to work?
 
What cams do you have? There have been firmware updates for some Dahua cams so that you won't need a plug-in, for example, IPC-HDW5231R-Z and similar models:

 
If you bought it from Andy then you may want to check the firmware version againist the one he posted. Be careful in updating the firmware, you may brick it. It is my understanding that some sellers take cams made for the local Chinese market and put an English interface on them, which may not be compatible with the offical intl version of the firmware and will cause issues.

In any case, the thread states you still need a plug-in even with the updated firmware:
