I don't think there is a direct way, but you can make the data grabbing harder

Here are methods on making a grabber's life harder. Like I said earlier, these are not fool-proof methods, but can at least ward off skiddies.

Video to Canvas technique

Recently I came across this article from HTML5Doctor while researching motion detection in JS. This involves streaming your video via a <video>, then with some JS, literally copy the video to a <canvas>. Here's an example where the video is up front, while the canvas at the back get's fed with data from that same video.

Essentially, what you do is:

Predefine on the HTML or dynamically insert a <canvas> to the DOM. This is the "player" that the user sees.

Dynamically create a video tag via JS, append it to the DOM hidden and give it a url to stream. This will be the video source for the canvas.

Then with JS, you periodically grab data from the <video> you just created and draw it to the <canvas>. With this step, the video gets fed to the canvas.
