I think no ones webcam streams are working (if they host there own)
Fox_Of_The_Wind:
as my other post says I have a local webcam stream server running now. But I am unable to link to it to my main site because it don't have a ssl domain. What are the steps on setting something like that up for a local server? or can it even be done cheap?
From looking around on peoples sites here it looks like everyone is in the same boat. If they are hosting there own webcam stream it is not working on there wx page if it is SSL active.
If its not SSL active then the webcam stream will work.
If they have a direct link to the stream url then that will also work on its own.
So......unless I get a domain name for my webcam it looks like this idea might be dead in the water.

Heh... mine do... installed SSL on the camera servers...
IRONIC you should ask this....I just whipped together a 'book' yesterday for a guy who couldn't get certificate installed on his camera server... goodness knows I like to never got it done on mine, because I'm illiterate mostly, but also because the instructions are a bit confused, depending on which system....
There's probably errors, and bad assumptions, but this includes the mess I went through 'learning' how to do it.
It only talks about getting cert into one server, and DOESN'T talk about getting the cert....
It also includes a pack on router setup, webpage code quickie, and a couple of tips.... one about spiders...
This refers to NetCam Studio on Win 64 only,,,, ...not liable for any typos, bad advice, other BS that might be inthe doc, but like to know so I can fix it...

Oh... the noIP enhanced DNS ($25 yearly) includes a 'standard' SSL cert FREE) Look for a coupon if new, I got on board for $10 bucks originally. $25 isa bit more than 1/3 what I was paying for previous DNS, with NO ssl capability.

There are ways around this..
I have a webcam myself, a Reolink, but the way I choose to show the image is through the api.cgi supplied with the camera firmware, rather than uploading an image at a given interval. The problem I had, is that the URL is HTTP, and browsers now block mixed content, so unless you manually add an exception in to the browser you use, it'll block the image. To get HTTPS, I'd have to run my own server with an SSL certificate and then run the camera through that.
To get around it, I created a simple php webpage (cam.php) and used @imagecreatefromjpeg() to grab the api.cgi image via the URL. I then created another webpage (my main website page) and used <img id="image" src="cam.php?> to embed the link. It now passes the mixed content issue and is classed as secure. https://warehamwx.co.uk/webcam.php

Not quite. I'm just updating this image: https://warehamwx.co.uk/cam.php every 100ms.
I could use Blueiris to actually provide a direct stream, but I'm still not sure on the idea, as I don't want to run extra software. If there's any interesting weather likely to happen, I'll just start my live stream to YouTube.
