Many older IC Realtime products can only work on the legacy IE browser, find out how to manage the web plugin for this old browser

Configuring Internet Explorer

Step 5: Type the full address for your IP camera or recorder e.g (http://192.168.1.108 or http://mydvr.icddns.com) in the address bar at the top of the browser. When prompted, install the plug-ins in order that they appear.

Deleting Web Plugins

If you use multiple systems and require different plugins to be installed, you will need to delete your plugins eventually. This will allow for a fresh install and better performance when using the web interface. To avoid permission issues when deleting the plugins, make sure Internet Explorer is closed with no open tabs or windows.


Web plugins are located in the (C:) drive under program files and program files(x86) on 64 bit systems. Open My Computer or This PC and double click on the (C:) drive. First navigate to C:\Program Files and look for webrec or Webplugin.exe. If either folder is located here, delete it. Look for the same two folders in C:\Program Files (x86) and delete either of them if located there.
