I'm in the process of writing a WinForms application that will allow
viewing MJpeg streams from 30+ ip cameras located throughout our
facility.  None of the cameras will be accessable via the internet.

Each camera has password protected access for up to 5 users.  Some of
these camera are located in sensitive areas and I need to allow/deny
access to the camera based on AD group membership.

At present, I'm using System.DirectoryServices to get the user's group
membership and based on that membership allowing or denying access to
the camera.  While this works, it forces me to hard code the camera's
password in the application and it doesn't solve the problem of a user
being able to enter the camera's ip address in a browser and being
presented with a camera log in screen.  The latter is less of an issue
as it's unlikely that the user would be able to guess the camera's
username and password.  However, I'd much prefer to make the camer'a
invisible to users that don't/shouldn't have access to these cameras.

Is there any way to limit access to specific ip addresses based on a
user's AD group membership?  If not, does anyone have any suggestions?
