My laptop has a webcam and I want to know its IP address so I can access it remotely with ngrok.

What I want to do is exactly like this:

I can't find info online for such a task. Any help will be appreciated.

--------------EDIT-------------:

The question in this link How to check available webcams from the command line? answers a part of the question: i.e knowing the address of the internal camera.

But it doesn't answer "how to get its IP or at least derive its value from another command".

i.e, say I have the python code:

cap = cv2.VideoCapture("cam_ip_here")

What I want to do, is generate a link with "ngrok", and via it access the IP of the internal camera, thus exposing the local webcam to the internet.

@mikewhatever answered it: the local webcam in the laptop has no IP to start with; unless a lengthy process is done.

Big disappointment.
