    If you have a green screen when watching records of Synology Surveillance Station on your mobile phone, or tablet, and are using H.264 compression, then simply disable the “H.264 hardware decoding”.

  • Synology surveillance station: Internet Explorer has stopped working

    Since two days, each time I open a Preview, a Live View or the Timeline in my Surveillance Station, IE crashes. Presuming it could due to the Synology ActiveX used by those features, I have removed that one. And Bingo, it’s fixed.

    No idea how that ActiveX has been corrupted, but here it how to remove it.

    1. Press AltX to open the Tools menu
    2. Select “Manage Add-ons”
    3. In Add-on Types, keep “Toolbars and Extensions” selected
    4. Scroll down to find the extension “SS3Object Control”. Select it.
    5. In the bottom pane, click on “More information”
    6. You have now a popup window “More information” with a “Remove” button at the very bottom. Click that button.
    7. Reopen Surveillance Station. The ActiveX will be re-installed. But now, the problem is gone…
