Embed code for Nest cam on sport courts

We installed several nest cameras at our facility for management to oversee the community. There are two on our pickleball courts for which I have been given access. I want to allow all of our club members (about 500 ppl) to be able to see the courts by going in to our club webpage and clicking on two players I would embed that are coded to the two nest pickleball cameras. I know things changed in 2021 with the new app but is there a work around I can use to embed these camera links and allow members to simply click play (ie: not have an account or the app) to see who is out on the courts?

Hello, I'm 99% sure that NEST cams are not the best solution for what you are trying to do. They REALLY locked them down back in 2021 because of security issues of people viewing cameras they were not suppose to.

I saw that change. I didn't realize that was the issue. With most folks, these days, no one wants to miss out on any data collection ... the App's are the collectors. I was just hoping to find a work around. I don't want everyone to have the ability to get into the controls in settings (turning on/off cameras and or sound). I just wanted it for the convenience of our players to be able to see if people were showing up and therefore would come and play.
Thanks so much for your quick reply!

You may want to check out the line of cameras from REOLINK. They have a much stronger and broader production line when it comes to security cameras. With many different models and also NVRs that might come in handy for what you are doing.

Also, you can share a feed from a camera like this:

How do I remotely access a Reolink camera from a browser?

Input the IP address of your device in the address bar of the browser, input the username and password of your device, then click Login to live view your device. Note: If there is a pop-up that prompts you to install a plugin on the web browser, click Install to install it.

They are at reolink.com and their hardware won't break the bank
