Enables live streaming of webcam on a webserver which can furthur be harnessed for access over LAN

livecam.js

// This would enable the user to stream webcam's output to a URL which could be accessed over a network
// Major code from: https://github.com/sepehr-laal/livecam

var ip = '127.0.0.1'; // Please Replace with your IP, otherwise you would not be able to serve it over on network!

const LiveCam = require('livecam');
const webcam_server = new LiveCam

    'ui_port' : 11000,
