We've been recently seeing IT restrictions on ActiveX Plugins at a few different large end users. Axis made it easy for us to get around this and secure those bids. I didn't know Hanwha was in that field now, I'll have to re-evaluate their cameras at ISC West. Thanks for the information.

I applaud the story showing the problem with these manufacturers using outdated ActiveX technology but find the title to be a little misleading.
What I expected when I first read the story was a breakdown of what browsers are being used specifically to access security equipment (DVR/NVR/IP cameras), not for all purposes. I think if you were to do another poll showing what browsers are used just to access security equipment then you'll find that the overwhelming majority is Internet Explorer and ActiveX since that is what is required by almost every piece of equipment coming from the chinese manufacturers.

I thought the question asked if ActiveX was important and thus voted "Not very". Rereading the question, it actually ask how important is it to NOT require ActiveX. Please change my vote from Not Very, to Very.
On another note, who in the world still requires ActiveX?? Why?

Interesting and informative story...
To my knowledge, Hanwha supports plug-in free web browing not only for H.264 stream but for H.265, whereas Axis does only for H.264. Is my understanding incorrect?

Web RTC adoption is the immediate solution for native video decoding.
