I am installing multi security cameras, Foscam the maker of these camera state this "Must Read: Before we even get to step one, you must first understand that the only way to view multiple cameras is if you use Internet Explorer, no other browser supports multi-devices yet. And you will also need to enable ActiveX Controls, normally Internet Explorer will prompt you to enable it if it is not already enabled. If you still have problems with ActiveX Controls, please check out our guide on ActiveX Controls by clicking here." 

is this true? what do I do?

thanks denkopf

If that camera can only be operated via ActiveX controls then you you are out of luck on a Mac (no IE possible) or otherwise if you use Firefox because only IE is able to use ActiveX controls.

You will need a camera that can be controlled via Java applets or otherwise as long as ActiveX isn't used.

Otherwise you would need to run Windows via Boot Camp or Parallels or another emulator and run IE that way.
