Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you have downloaded the FirefoxPortableESR .exe file.

|
Access your Hikvision CCTV IP camera by entering its IP address in a web browser.
|
|
|
|
## Step 7: Login to Hikvision Website

|
After the website loads, a login window will appear. Enter the complete `IP address` of your camera in the web browser opened in `Step 4`. Then, insert your camera's `username` and `password` in the login window.
|
|
|
|
## Step 8: Download Plugin
|

Download the required plugin and place it in the `FirefoxPortableESR/Data/Plugins` directory.

|
Refresh your browser, and now you should see your Hikvision CCTV camera feed working fine.
