Roberthl has already suggested a rearrangement of the cameras[1].
I hope that's enough, but if not, here's how the members-only limit might work without causing too much disruption:
- Logged in user visits webcam page
- Auth cookie is checked; user is given a long-lived cookie with auth details
- User is redirected to current URL with key (random)
- Current URL with key can be distributed
Periodically, current URL changes
- When current URL key is wrong, long-lived cookie is checked and user reauthenticated
- If user is still active, user is redirected to current URL with key
- If not, user is invited to ask on IRC
