Show HN: Woofcam.live a Free P2P Pet Monitor (woofcam.live)

Hey! I've been using a free pet cam in the past for my dog and the site went down a few months ago so I thought I'd just make it myself.

Currently uses only STUN servers so some connections may not work but that means it's 100% p2p. Would love some feedback and general advice!

But also, feel free to user this as a daily driver if need be. Can also monitor stuff other than pets of course.



I like it and it looks as elegant as can be :)

This is the kind of thing people really need, complete P2P.

Does seem to basically work, however I think having a GUID serving as an overly-long streamname is nonideal, well it could just be the dashes in the streamname that some devices have trouble with.

A possible showstopper could also be having a streamname without a file extension, when video streams of any kind are usually digested better if they have a well-known extension that accurately triggers the appropriate codec in mainstream players.


Thanks for the advice!

Yeah the guid was once just a 5 character random string but I figured that wouldn't be very secure. I should try to remove the dashes though!

And I'll look into the file extension thing!
