I am trying to add images from my IPCamera onto my new WIX website. My old website used PHP which does not seem to be supported. The image URL has passwords and usernames to authenticate to the camera so i cannot just add the URL into the client code.
I have tried using the fetch function but I now understand that that does not work for images.
Is there a way of doing this and keeping my URL secure?
Is your ipcamera images or video as if you want to livestream you can add like here.

To add images from an external source, then use code like here.

Otherwise, if you need to add code that inserts a username and password so that you can authenticate your camera images, then make sure that you add this function in a backend file.
You can’t use Wix Fetch as that needs to connect to a API and not an IP address.
Your other choice is to use a third party and add your images to your site through html.
Thinking about it, can you setup your IP camera so that images are saved into a dataset as you can look into using an external dataset.

@givemeawhisky thanks for all of that. I added the URL into the backend and then read that through, unfortunately when you look at the image and HTML it reads through the URL and hence you can still see the sensitive data. I think I am going to have to try generating an external data set as you suggest.
