Do not allow anonymous viewing. Configure the camera to require a login for M-JPEG access:
MJPEG, or Motion JPEG, is a video compression format where each video frame or interlaced field of a digital video sequence is compressed separately as a JPEG image. Unlike MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) formats that compress across frames, MJPEG compresses each frame individually, leading to larger file sizes but ensuring that each frame can be independently decompressed.
