It's time to forget from starting/stopping the sever manually
The server will start automatically when all the hosts (e.g your smartphone) do NOT reachable in the local network
plus get server's current IP address via email
Just make a hosts.txt file in the main cyber-camera directory,
Add the wanted hosts IP separated by line (make sure each host has a static ip on the local network)
Run the network.py script instead of server.py.
When your public IP has been changed, an email will be sent with the new IP.
