I got this yesterday, 16/1/20 from Hikvision UK&I tech support:Dear customer,Please note that iVMS 4200 does not work on Mac Catalina OS, since they updated to this OS, our software does not work properly anymore, also Safari or any other browser do not support the plugins needed to run the system via browser. The only accepted browser is Internet Explorer 11.If you are the end user we suggest you to get in touch with your seller/installer for any further information.What he thinks a seller / installer may be able to do when the system manufacturer can't help is crazy!My system still records but having to buy a PC in order to use IE11 to monitor the feeds on the network is a joke. Thanks for sharing.Plainly, as a reseller and Hikvision Partner, we will have to now take the stance that Hikvision solutions are currently not suitable for Mac users.That is not a problem for new enquirers, in due course we'll try to determine whether any other manufacturer has a solution that works better on Macs sorry, sitting on the fence - we have seen others improve a bit, then fall back with the next firmware release or Mac update.We are testing all the time.' Lives on a Mac' - his all day every day work machine is an iMac (we also keep another in the office deliberately on a different Mac OS version for testing).We have, for example, in turn seen Milesight do some good things, and thought for a while that Dahua might have a good Mac solution - but each has in due course disappointed!Axis have a good solution.Synology have a good solution.Recording on your Mac with Security Spy has always been a good solution.But none of those help Mac owners who have invested in Hikvision NVRsWe'll keep plugging away, and will continue to share options as & when. Thanks for the reply.I've since seen a fix on another forum but was reluctant to download anything unknown.

When using the Ant tasks, setting the fx:application element name attribute uses that name across the board, both for fx:jar and fx:deploy, as long as those two tasks each declare to reference that same fx:application.FWIW, the topic branch for my actual application use case is. Javafx self contained application packaging for mac.

Hikvision provides stand alone computer video player software for Windows and Mac OSes. VSPlayer for Mac OS 32-bit. Go to their app download site (Google Play for Android and iTunes for Apple) to download the iVMS-4500 application.

I contacted Hikvision HQ direct and they sent me this fix with instructions.Their UK&I support still hasn't mentioned it. They are still blaming Apple and telling me there is nothing they can do.The fix they sent me is attached with instructions:Dear customer,Sorry for the inconvenience.Please try to do as following steps:1. Please decompress the file attached, which named 'libSadp.dylib'.2. Put the extracted file in the 4200 installation root directory(as picture attached), and replace the original file.3.Running 4200 again.I've tried it and now the iVMS4200 is working fine for me.Hopefully it helps others.If anyone is wary of downloading from here, mail and ask 'Your customer service centre has directed me to email you at this address for a file that will allow IVMS-4200 to work on MacOS 10.15.' As says I do work on a Mac most of the time and so can understand a lot of the challenges that people are experiencing. We often say to people that with the Chinese companies (Hikvision, Dahua, etc.) especially they have an attitude that the products are only for professionals and that a professional setup always uses a direct monitor as the main point of access.
