Watching insecure streams on a secure website
Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2017 7:08 am
First of all - the definitions. Normally "insecure" stream refers to the one not protected by a password of some kind. (By default all of the webcams on this site are insecured).
In the context of this topic it means the webcam transmitted over the insecure host.
Before I moved this site to a secure server, this wasn't an issue.
Now, however, there is quite a number of webcams that wouldn't show over the secure connection. I am trying to figure out how to fix this. Meanwhile there is an easy workaround for this problem.
Most of modern browsers don't like to show insecure content on a secure website. They give so-called "mixed content" warning and block insecure content from displaying.
You can tell the browser to ignore this and keep displaying the insecure content.
If you need help with how to do it, please post your configuration in reply message and I will try and provide a brief instruction here.
