LivingRoomCam's setup is a hodge-podge that has grown up over the years.
One of the effects of having grown up over the years is that the cameras and software have changed with time. The original software was hand coded since libraries didn't exist in the very early days of Internet connected cameras. The cameras were also some early version of IP connected cameras or cameras that had specialized hardware in a PC chassis.
These days, the cameras are Raspberry Pis that take images every so often and make them available to a server that serves them up to the internet. The latter server has to do all the certificate stuff so https work for both livingroomcam.us and christmascam.us.

The camera in the kitchen is a Raspberry Pi Zero stuck
to the wall.
Networking has gotten easier over the years changing from wires to WiFi. The only wires now are for power.
The server in the basement runs a script that pulls an image from each of the cameras and makes them available as images via https.
Things are easier these days.
