If you're interested in how it works;

ESP32 with a camera module streaming images, Go microservice to receive and serve live images and a little front-end trickery that transitions between live images to make it feel like a video.

All in about $20 in hardware. ~1% sustained CPU use server-side to handle the "stream" on a small web server, and it doesn't seem to budge even with ~100 concurrent viewers at one point... (far more bearable than serving up an actual 24/7 live stream from a web server).

Mostly likely won't keep it pointed at my workspace, thinking of pointing it at 3D printer after the weekend maybe.
