>Are you nerds telling me that you might be able to stream one of those cameras?
It is possible, just not very probable.

Go look at
https://www.insecam.org/
For thousands of cameras transmitting live for the whole internet to see, either intentionally, due to faulty configurations or because of publicly known security flaws or backdoor credentials.

To be able to pull something like that off the camera would have to either:

1. Be intentionally provided for viewing (Unlikely)
2. Have been configured wrong or left with default configuration. (Always a possibility)
3. Have previously been compromised by a security flaw and had a backdoor image stream URL or credentials put in place (Very unlikely, more common on consumer grade cameras)
4. Have factory default hardcoded stream URLs or credentials that bypass security entirely. (Always a possibility)
5. Been factory reset due to lack of physical security of the device. (Unlikely)

That is provided the cameras are connected to the internet in the first place, and you somehow manage to locate the camera on the internet, geolocation of IP ranges in Japan is even less accurate than most other countries for some reason, and might not even give you the right prefecture in some cases.

>I've actually been playing with that idea. You create "rooms" with a stream and then the viewers just watch a rebroadcast. Though I feel I as the "owner" of the site could get in some shit...
Same here.
There used to be a prank call group on tinychat that would call locations they found on livestreams and cameras, once they started to draw attention to themselves they got into some shit. This would ofc be a lot different but i feel like whoever is hosting it would still be taking some risks otherwise i would have already done it.
It's sometimes hard to tell if a camera is online intentionally or just because the guy installing it was an idiot and didn't set up access security, and the owner might not like having it rebroadcast elsewhere even if it is intentional.

>I know what you people do(well at least the ones that allow us to not have nice things)...
I used to be one of those people to some degree, so i think i know what you mean.

>I mean, you could also restream it to another platform like youtube(super easy in ffmpeg) for example.
That was my first thought too, but it's a pain to setup that in anyway that isn't super easy to have traced back to you these days when google requires phone activation for everything.
Also i don't have any hardware i could run 24/7 for it at the moment.
