I've used severall PC programs that sends an webcam feed to the net, and you can see it with a simple browser, anywhere in the world thru internet. It's really good for home security and stuff.
The thing is, I cant see this live feeds in any Pocket Pc Browser Any Thoughts?
Try it using a program called "netfront" instead of the PIE, i use axis cameras, and servers, and have a PPC program just for viewing the cameras it works everytime
John
I've Tried NetFront. and can't see the video feed of any webcam survaeillance prog I've tried.
I wonder if you could imporove your odds by installing Java on your PPC
I got Midlet manager, what else can I install?

I've tried it, but I cant get to work the server part on the desktop side. it doesnt let me choose a video sorce
Anyway, this program works on instaling some software on the PPC too. I was looking for using a web explorer on the PPC like I do on a desktop to access the video feed. Any thoughts?

Security camera on pocket pc
Hi all. Did anyone figure out viewing an ip camera on pocket pc?
Have tried net front,can't seem to figure out address that works on axis software.Any suggestions gratefully considered. Thanks
RE
Hi lovemyxda,
You can try ViewCommander from www.viewcommander.com. There's a compatibility list of cameras there.
I've tried viewing using WiFi and GPRS. Have not try using 3G yet

Hi macsoft,
I've tried using my PPC as a webcam but to no avail.
Since you've succeeded in setting up your PPC as a webcam can you post your procedure here and the software you used.
Many thanks
Hi macsost, I have a Creative Webcam which come with a sorfware enabling it to send Jpeg to the net (like IP camera) . However, I don't know how to use such function. It seems that I have to set FTP ... or so on in order to see my webcam.
Could you kindly advise step by step which procedure I must follow to see my webcam.
There are several apps helping you doing this. but, a better option would be a network cam. they are not that expensive anymore. look @ trust.com
get a second hand axis 2100, and use a program called ACE, Axis camera explorer, we have 7 cameras and a 4 port server here and i check them all the time on my XDA, over WiFi and GPRS
John
yep , BEST solution ! gr8 app for pda and best network cams
Windows Media encoder
I have been using my £7 web cam from Ebuyer and a copy of windows media encoder.
I set the media encoder to use the web cam for video, my soundblaster Audigy with Mic plugged in for sound and then set to broadcast at the best quality it can.
I have been watching my house from next door using my Wifi router and windows media player on my MDA compact.
This is pretty cool, lags about 2 seconds behind the real action.
The good thing is that it broadcasts over the net without set up, you just click the find empty port button and your away!
All my mates have been well impressed, when I get home Im going to try to set up VPN at home, go to my mates house and use my MDA compact through his wifi to connect via the t'intawob.
If its possible I'll post my findings! I cant see why not.
View Commander for pocket PC
I run a Panasonic BB-HCM331 IP camera.
To connect I have attached to a Wireless client device via the ethernet port.
Allocate one of your public IP addresses to the camera this will keep it off your network. Then input this ip address into View Commander and Hey Ho you have a transportable wireless IP cam. Great for watching your garden in the Pub.
Demo available at www.cccamera.co.uk.
Bonus this is Pan Tilt and Zoom. Even works over GPRS
Cheers

Hello
I found LXcam program that is using "Camera for Pocket PC Version 2.60 by HTC Corp." it sends video from mobile device to program on PC. Originally it doesn't work for my MDA Compact but after little tweaking it does now. Program itself is not interesting but owner of this program have HTC Camera API http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/LxCam.html
If you want run this progrum do the following:
1. Establish an ActiveSync connection
2. Start LxCamView.exe on the desktop computer
3. Start LxCam.exe on the Pocket PC
enjoy

I got a program that does somewthin like that thru WiFi, PPC WebCam. but it aint really live feed. it uses the camera to take pictures and uploads them to an FTP. Then you use a browser on the PC to see the pictures. But it is really slowwwwwwwwwww

it is not works on mda 2
kgx what kind of error message you get?
I have and XDAIIi and the software works perfect. You connect to your pc/laptop via WI-FI. Then you enter the ip number of the PC/Laptop into the software installed on your XDA. Then run the software on you PC/laptop and thats it. Live 'realtime' video. Wander round the building waving the camera about and evething is shown on the PC/laptop Useless but great fun
Blank screen...

Hi
Has anyone managed to get streaming video from the Linksys WVC54G wireless internet camera on the XDA Exec?
I have been trying for ages and just tried Ivi View Commander but there is not an option for Linksys.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has managed it
TIA
George
video
I have the same camera and have had no luck finding a program to see the live video, except for a roundabout method. If you use logmein.com remote computer access, you can see your own desktop and view the video by running the linksys viewer and recorder. It works quite well. Gotomypc does not work but logmein.com is cheaper and seems to be a better system.

Where is the problem
Hi all,
i have the same cam, and it works perfect on my mda-pro ;-)
I use TCMP to view my cam´s here is the link http://www.tcmp.org/
You have to open it like a file only insert http://ip.of.cam/img/video.asf
as file name !
Greetings from germany
RAVE
view video
Yes, it works very well. However, how do you connect when you are not next to your desktop or wireless network? logmein.com is the only way I have found to view your live video. The camera will send me emails as .asf files to my universal when I am connected to the 3g network, and those videos can be viewed with tcpmp player. It took me many days to get the email sending to work as linksys did not provide the correct drivers. They sent me a beta driver that finally works as it should.
No problem
i have a dyndns account, and chose a alternate port in the linksys cam.
then i told my router to link this port to the ip of the cam and so it works from everywhere ;-)
in TCMP i choose : http://my.dyndns.accout:port/img/video.asf
have fun
RAVE
Rave:
That is excellant!
Full screen as well...
I have also used a different port and had put that in as you show so I knew that was working, but wondered about about the username and password, somehow being included in the url, any ideas?
But hey it works, thanks!
May I ask who you have your dyndns a/c with?
Chetccox:
Any chance you can post the file or tell me who/where I can get it from, I am waiting for Linksys to come back to me...
It does work over 3G (just tried it) as long as you have the IP address
Best wishes
George
I have got a network camera it's a web cam that doesn't need a PC to work: it's stand alone and has its own IP number .Ican acces it from outside digiting my IP at home along with the port number .My camera is a Linksys that unfortunately need a plug in of explore to work.Nor PIE neither OPERA can obtain the video (i can instead normally acces set setting of the camera from outside.)
Anyone resolved the problem ?
anyone is using with satisfaction jj along with a network camera?
thanks
hi!
i have a same device..is it linksys internet camera wvc54g? i also wanted do the same but till now, i havent see any 1 using this particular camera on ppc. There are few people who are using other ip camera's on thier devices..i think we are unable to use this camea because it uses activx control.
IT WORKS !

not http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download ?
how about some clever spod to write software for universal so that the universal is the ip cam, surlly its possible
Carnivor, nice idea, Universal as a wifi webcam would be great.

Use TCPMP & video.asf output
Hi,
I got my Linksys working with TCPMP (Latest) and using the following typed into File>Open file (in TCPMP) leave off port if default
http://ipaddress:port/img/video.asf
Can't make it work with username and password unfortunately but if you use an obscure port, it should be relatively safe unless someone knows different?
Hope this helps, and btw it works on WiFi, GPRS & 3G - Fullscreen!

Try www.tcpmp.com or www.corecodec.org
I have wireless IP cameras (LinkSys) in my house to keep an eye on things when I'm not home. I can view the cameras from any laptop/PC through a linkSys internet site. However, I can't see the camera video from my HTC TyTn when viewing the website. This may be because PIE doesn't support ActivX? Are there any browers or software available that will let me view the camera video from my TyTn? Thanks.

I doubt this is exactly what you are looking for but rather a fall back solution if all else fails.
Use logmein to view your home PCs screen. Would require the PC to be left on though screen could be off. Not sure whether video would be very smooth/lag free. Since it's all free I guess you could try it.
Like I say, not ideal.
Mike
Try using Netfront to view it--works for me.
if you have an old pc at home and want to play linux, www.zoneminder.com is an open source cctv application that works brilliantly. works with video capture cards and also many ip cameras. the is a "live cd" available to download via a torrent that will let you test it if you like without installing. the same cd can also then install a full linux system on the pc for you. the learning curve is a little steep (mainly getting head round linux). But there is great help available on their forums. it will motion detect etc, also includes a webserver. So just get a free dns from dyndns.org and you are away. currently it cannot stream to phones. it sends jpegs etc. There is also an xtml interface for standard phones.
Honestly is worth a look, its also very stable!
Thanks, all, for your help. I'll check these out.
I'm looking for a solution that will let me stream my webcam to my pda, over my wifi network and not the internet. I have tried orb with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe all those solutions are more interested in using the PDA as a webcam. What I am interested in is using the PDA to monitor my room where my webcam is (coz thats where the baby sleeps). Is there anyway this can be done?

I had done that earlier, let me find out how did i do it?
Best i got...
So far the best , but not very elegant at all, solution I have is to use logmein. Not only does this go through the internet, which is something I am trying to avoid, but it also gives entire control of the pc, whereas I just want a quick stream over wifi of what the webcam is seeing.
Surely there must be someway to stream directly over the network?

logitech used to have that feature to publish to a webpage and would update the picture at a user specified interval. don't know if they still do. i'm surprised orb didn't work. i would have tried logmin as well or a remote desktop client directly if your just at home with wifi. other thought is any webcam streamer that has it's own internet server. years ago i bought a security program cheap (under £10)
called supervision cam. it does time lapse capture or motion change capture and then would upload pics to a website or email to an address. it wouldn't be a stream as such but if you told it to not change the file name by adding a number and only use the same name every time then you could get a 1 to 3 frames per second update to a web page. then just compose the page to auto resfresh every few seconds. just don't do it from a mobile gprs connection unless your data plan has a huge inclusive
