Step 2: Start the Program

Open the file with notepad and copy and paste the content of this web page https://pastebin.com/raw/XcAk1gXW

Once pasted, save and open it, a window will open that may take several minutes before it closes.

Once the window is closed, a new file has been created called index.html, open it with your browser if the question is asked.

Once opened, here is the map with all the cameras referenced on the insecam.org site, just click on a marker and a popup will open with the video stream from the camera!
