I compile the ComfortClient with the "AnyCPU" option set which means if you run the Client on a X64 bit OS it runs as a 64 bit app. and if you run on a x86 OS it runs as 32 bit. As a consequence the x64 bit version runs the IE x64 browser and the x86 version runs IE 32 bit browser when you add a browser tab in the Client.
Whilst the normal 32 bit (x86) IE browser runs many plugins, the x64 bit IE has more patchy (but growing all the time) support based mainly on the facts that it is (a) newer and (b) mandates that plugins are (certificate) signed.
The webcam link Ingo mentions is one java x64 based plugin I've tried in the Client and it gives you buttons to control the camera which was good. http://comfortinnbelfast.com/web-cam
Also recenty into Beta is a ActiveX Flash x64 plugin (square) you can find at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html and this seems to test out OK in the client. I used this test in the Client as demos animation and video Flash tests: http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/info/en/help/requirements/flash.html
I guess control of the CCTV camera really boils down to the specifics off the manufacturers camera software and what plugins it supports/provides.
I'm happy to try and add some support to the Client if we can define what that is and it isn't too proprietary.
In version 2 of the ComfortClient, due soon, I also plan to compile individual 32 and 64 bit versions such that even on 64 bit OS you can still install the 32 bit version if you wanted IE plugin support not available in IE 64.

Julian
p.s attachments show the 64 bit Java and Activex plugins I tested in IE in the ComfortClient.
