I am trying to access my webcam using the getUserMedia() using my own website that run using my own ip address.
it was working fine until i tried my website again. i had tried the other demo site and the error given was getUserMedia is not supported.
Chrome version v47.0.2526.80m 32bits
I am able to access the webcam if i enter localhost instead of my ipadress. it also work in firefox.
Chrome is requiring secure origins (HTTPS) for getUserMedia.
Starting with Chrome 47, getUserMedia() requests are only allowed from secure origins: HTTPS or localhost.

Chrome finally implemented the new navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia()
method, but they added a security that will prevent the calls from unsecure address (non https or non localhost servers)
You will call it like this :
var video = document.querySelector('video');
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video:true}).then(function(mediaStream){
window.stream = mediaStream;
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaStream);
video.play();
});
Or you can use the official webRTC polyfill adpater.js library.
var constraints = { video: true, audio: true };
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints)
.then(stream => video.srcObject = stream)
.catch(e => console.error(e));
