But from http://myip:7999 I see 4 cameras: image

Research direction
Investigate the camera list rendering in the web interface vs the direct stream endpoint. Compare the data source for the 'myip:7999' stream with the main web page. Look for differences in how cameras are enumerated. Check if there is a 'hidden' camera configuration option. Review the code that generates the camera list in the HTML template and the API endpoint.
