Jesus, who the fuck programmed this website? Even if you have one of the cameras full screened it still downloads all 10 videos in the background, which is terrible if you use mobile data.

Thankfully they put the stream data on an unprotected Cloudfront distribution, so you can just slap the following links into your player (VLC works on Android, MPV/VLC etc. should work on desktop) to watch one of the cameras specifically:

That's nuts. They probably did that so there wouldn't be a delay between switching cameras, but that could easily be minimized by continuing to load and play the current stream while loading up the new stream and then switching over once it's done. It's still a large oversight in my opinion.

Mic situation is awful, really hard to hear anything. Some of the camera angles seem useless too. V funny so far though, if a little awkward.

Probably is.

Is this house in Massachusetts or Rhode Island? I can't imagine that would have been cheap. Maybe around Woonsocket?
 
I inspected the WebSocket connection that they use for the chat, and it almost seems like they send a huge amount of data about every single user that's connected to Fishtank and which camera they're viewing? This is very weird.

This data seems to be regularly sent (in 16KB chunks) and I'm guessing they use this to update the live view counts on each camera, but it's an incredibly retarded way of doing it. I guess bandwidth isn't an issue though because they use Firebase.

It's not, it's just very inefficiently programmed.
