## Description

This project provides a browser-based media player and server-side bridging component designed to render live network camera feeds directly within web applications. By utilizing standard browser media APIs, it enables the playback of video streams without the need for external plugins or proprietary software.

The system functions by routing raw network camera data through a server-side proxy that translates specialized protocols into browser-compatible formats. This bridge facilitates real-time media delivery by managing network traffic and decapsulating stream headers directly within the browser environment.

The library includes integrated support for securing video connections through standard authentication methods, allowing for the management of protected streams. It also incorporates traffic management and buffering utilities to maintain consistent playback performance despite fluctuations in network latency.
