... This is not 100% accurate. The module only works with ONE camera and due to a massive oversight, or simply poor design, you cannot add more than one of the same module. So, it you are the rare 1% that has only 1 IP camera you want to view, then congrats you are in luck. If you are the 99% of people that buy IP Cams you are SoL and can only see one of your cams.

None of the core devs own an ip cam so the fact that it even exists is amazing. It could have quite easily been ignored.
Not judging the IP Cam module, it rocks. The gap is with Maraschino. One of the main reasons to having a "modular" interface is so the framework does not care what modules are installed... to have a limitation that only 1 of each module can be installed is a lack of design and understanding of use cases for the app.
Most people who own IP Cams have multiple cams... so having only one came viewable is not even useful, we need to use another UI anyway and will not be using the Maraschino module. If we can add multiple cams, then it will be used.
Hmm, im not sure what to say here except that now that there is a clear need for such a thing it is worth looking for a solution. Hopefully when someone has time this will be looked into.
Furthermore, I never meant to lead anybody on but I'm not sure what exactly is not 100% accurate in my statement but in any case I am sorry if it upset you in any way.
