Watchpane needs go2rtc, the free camera streaming server. This page asks go2rtc for a camera, go2rtc answers, and the video then goes straight from go2rtc to this browser over WebRTC. No other server is involved, and your video never reaches us.

1. 1. Let this page talk to go2rtc. Add this to go2rtc.yaml:

   api:
     origin: "*"

   Remove any username and password from go2rtc's API, and from any proxy in front of it: this page can't sign in.
2. 2. Open the video port. Video uses go2rtc's WebRTC port, 8555, and skips reverse proxies like Traefik or nginx, so this computer must reach that port directly. If go2rtc runs in Docker, publish the port in docker-compose.yml:

   ports:
     - "8555:8555/tcp"
     - "8555:8555/udp"

   and add go2rtc's computer's IP address to go2rtc.yaml:

   webrtc:
     candidates:
       - 192.168.1.10:8555

3. 3. Restart go2rtc. It reads its config only when it starts.
4. 4. Connect. Click Connect go2rtc and enter its address: http://localhost:1984 when it runs on this computer, its IP address like http://192.168.1.10:1984, or its https:// address. Other plain http:// names are blocked by Chrome on this page. When Chrome asks to access devices on your local network, click Allow.
