The beauty of the webcamXP system lay in its lack of complication. It didn't require cloud subscriptions or complex apps. It was raw, direct access. It turned a standard web browser into a security station. However, this "secretary work" came with a heavy responsibility: security. The administrator had to ensure the firewall allowed only specific IPs to access port 8080, ensuring that this window into the office wasn't open to the world.
To access your camera from outside your home network (e.g., from a phone on cellular data), you must "forward" port 8080.
