I’m hoping there's a guru somewhere out there who can shed light on a weird problem. Background: I have multiple IPcams from various manufacturers including Hikvision DS-2CD2332-1 and over the years have routinely configured using Mac Safari, that is until now. I just got a new Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-1W and began the usual setup with Safari. I ran iVMS-4200 to get this particular camera's default IP then logged in with default Admin, changed Admin password to something more complex and added a restricted Operator user, then logged out. When I tried to log back in as Admin with this complex password the login page says “network abnormal”. Here’s the weird part - I am able to login as Admin using Firefox and also can login in using Safari but only to Operator.
I cross checked using iCab OSX (webkit based browser like Safari) and Safari on iOS and each time the same "network abnormal" error message. What would trigger such an error message with Safari but not Firefox? No extensions, no Firewall blocks, no Littlesnitch filtering, no host file blocks. Because I can access using Firefox it’s not critical but I’d really like to get to the bottom of this. Any suggestions?
