Disable access to webcams to inactive members

[mkmenta]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We would not like to allow access to the Webcam page to inactive users (including those that only verified their email but never selected a subscription).

We would like to keep the webcam images from the interior of the space only accessible to active members of the space for privacy and security.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be useful to have a configuration checkbox to allow/disallow access to inactive users to the webcam page. I suggest a checkbox in case other spaces want to keep it allowed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I currently have found no alternatives.

Additional context

P.S.: Thank you so much for this great project!

Hiya, that definitely sounds like it would be useful. We could add it without too much difficulty. I just want to clarify though, the Member portal is not proxying web cam snapshots at the moment - it just displays an embedded public image with auto refresh logic. So this wouldn’t be providing “proper security”, it would be security through obscurity. Though it might be worthwhile updating the way it works to proxy the images through the portal so it can provide this as that also shouldn’t be too tricky. Means the original webcam URLs are never exposed and you could theoretically IP allowlist it etc.

Also a note so I don’t forget, if enabled, these URLs should also be excluded from the space API output too!

Right! I did not realize the URLs were not proxied. That would be great!
