Foscam Expired Internet Explorer Certificate Issue

Foscam Expired Internet Explorer Certificate Issue

A message from Foscam:

 

Recently we have received some feedback that the plug-in could not be installed on IE browser.
The IE browser block the plug in for the Certificate of the plug-in is expired.
This issue only happen when logging in the camera with IE browser at the first time to load the plug-in. 

Here we release one temporary resolution to install the plug-in on IE browser:

1. Change the date of your PC into any date before September 1. 
2. Log in the camera via IE browser to install the plug-in. 
3. After installing the plug in, change the date back to the correct one. 
After finishing the steps above, the plug-in will work well on the IE browser.


Here there are 2 other temporary method to solve this issue. 

1. Lower the security-level of IE browser
2. Download the plug-in by logging in the camera via Google chrome or Firefox and install it on your PC.

The first resolution is the easiest one to solve this issue..  We also will release a new plug-in on our official website and the forum here on September 19.

Lastly, after Sept 19th, you can download the plug-in and install the plug-in directly to solve the issue, and in future we will release new firmware to solve the issue completely.
