Any way I can connect to the IP9100a using my Apple Mac laptop?

No. The IP9100A requires Internet Explorer with ActiveX support in order to display video feeds. Microsoft discontinued support for the Internet Explorer on December 31, 2005 and removed the application from their Macintosh downloads site on January 31, 2006. Even if you could get hold of Internet Explorer it wouldn't help because, whilst Internet Explorer will run on the Mac, the Mac version doesn't support ActiveX. ActiveX was always a Microsoft Windows specific technology.
