Using a Web Browser to View Cameras
All of the major camera brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview UNV, WatchNET, Acti, etc, stopped supporting browser viewing back when Internet Explorer was still available. The plug-in style that was needed simply didn't work any more in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. The experience was always better using software or an app and today that's the only way forward. You'll want to use the iOS, iPadOS, Android app or the VMS softare for Windows or Mac provided by the camera manufacturer.
