Cannot access NVR from Mac.

[tmoore]

Here's what I've tried.

1. Amcrest Surveilance Pro for Mac
- This can see the NVR and allows me to add the device, but for the life of me I cannot get any of the 8 cameras setup on the NVR to show up in the viewers. I cannot create groups and the software appears to just not work at all. I've attached a pic of the app running showing that I can see my NVR and a couple other cams show up, but I would really like to see ALL the cams like I can from the iOS app.

2. Direct via browsers on Mac
- I've tried Chrome, Firefox, Safari with no luck whatsoever. I connect to the IP and get prompted to login. I can login but I get the "install plugins first" message. From the NVR IP address it never downloads the plugins when I hit "install". If I go directly to a camera, I can download those plugins. But after installing those plugins the NVR login STILL says to "install plugins first". And, yes, I have restarted the browsers after that installation.

3. Amcrestview.com on Mac
I basically see the same problem as #2 above. I put in the NVR IP, get a login screen and it tells me to install plugins. The upside here is I can use Amcrestview and the Chrome App to view a single camera. I cannot for the life of me get the NVR to show up.

4. LiveCams Pro and Amcrest View on iOS
These apps are both working perfectly. LiveCams doesn't connect to the NVR, but it does connect to all the cams. The Amcrest View mobile app connects to the NVR just fine and loads all the cameras etc. I believe this means my network settings and all that are just fine.

Any ideas on this, or are there better tools/Mac apps people would recommend to connect and view ALL cameras on an Amcrest NVR?
