let streaming = true;
function toggleStream() 
const img = document.getElementById('liveCam');

img.src = ""; // stop loading

 Step 3: Find Your Stream URL

Step 3: Find Your Stream URL

• In the main window, click on your camera’s name.
• Look for a tab labeled "Remote Access" or "Web Streaming".
• Evocam typically provides three formats:
  • JPEG snapshot: http://[Your-IP]:8080/snapshot.jpg
  • MJPEG stream: http://[Your-IP]:8080/cam.mjpg
  • HLS Stream: http://[Your-IP]:8080/stream.m3u8

Pro Tip: For modern HTML, use the MJPEG or HLS stream. Avoid the basic snapshot if you want fluid video.

Security & Access

• Avoid embedding credentials in public pages.
• Serve the page over HTTPS if the camera stream is accessible from the internet to prevent mixed-content blocks.
• Restrict camera access via network firewall/VPN for private feeds.
• If you must expose the feed, use time-limited signed URLs or authenticated proxying.
