If you are in North America or elsewhere that doesn't take advantage of the JasJar's 3G capabilities, I am wondering if the built in WebCam can be used for other things like, well, a WebCam But over Wifi or GPRS or whatever, not 3G. I would assume you would need software that can find and use the camera, but I don't know if there's any way to do it. Anyone heard anything about this possibility?
I keep meaning to try MS Portrait to see if it can be used on the Jas Jar with the VGA cam. Has anyone tried it yet?
I guess if you could compile vlc on this plateform, you could stream the webcam through the wifi or even record it.
VLC play lot of differents file it's worth to spend 5h to get the right option for the compilation.
(for those who don't know VLC it's an open-source software and free )

Yes, I tried. No success on behalf of missing camera driver.
Incoming video and sound is ok. Has anyone hacked the camdrv.dll / CameraDriver.dll ?
MS, pls. spend MS Portrait 2.4 !

Hi,
I know this has been discussed before in the past, but perhaps any of you know of the current status of this issue:
Is it possible to stream video from the Universal's videocam to a PC, in other words: to do a videocall from PPC to PC?
Is there any (new) info yet on whether the videocam can only be used for UMTS-calls due to a hardware or software limitation?
Thanks.
Or MSN Messenger?
I am still on my search for a video-enabled IM application for the Universal. Does anyone know whether using the videocam is even possible using anything else but the dedicated UMTS-based operator video call function?
(As T-Mobile sells the MDA Pro in The Netherlands, but does not offer UMTS yet, this key feature of their product is of no use to their clients now)
look for microsoft portrait
not sure if the cam is supported though
the himalaya cam was not
Hi,
it's been a while that I use Hermes but I still couldn't find any video communication possibility other than 3G video.
What I am looking for is something which would work on wifi and/or gprs.
Best would be some sip client which supports video.
But I would also be very glad to have standart msn video connection.
is there any possibilities that I've missed ?
thanks for your replies...
I too am looking for the same. If I find any information I shell share with ya and others too =)
Works GOOD =)

I know this but it's not a direct solution.
it requires both parties to install MS portrait, (even the PC user)
not standart...
but thanks for reminding.
Dear all,
I have been wondering if there is an application with messenger, which would have hermes frontcam as a webcam. After a long search I did not manage to find any apps like this. (with this i mean an app, which is running on the WM, NOT on PC).
However I came across one opinion about the thing that it could NOT be possible, since the heavy need of processing of the cam. I started thinking is that right, how much processing speed does it need to run a webcam with like only few pictures per second and a basic chat app running on msn messenger standard.
In my unprofessional opinion that should be possible, and if it is, why isnt anyone else interested in this kind of a thing, and why its not available.
Please somebody, do that kind of an application so I wouldnt have to learn WM PPC programming just because to do that.
or alternatively, prove me wrong.

It is defenately possible. I use Web Camera plus and you phone will act as a perfect webcam. You can even choose if you want the front cam or normal cam.

Thanks for the cool info!
Unfortunately that is working as a webcam for a messenger running on a PC only.. Not for messenger application running on my Hermes itself.
Is this impossible, is this going to be my Alamo?
/Henry
Ow, that i do not know. I'm not aware of an app that can do that, allthough i think it should be possible.
Maybe someone else can help you.
Im going to have to say that i doubt such a program exists or will exist.
MSN uses a lot of processing power to convert raw video into a streamed format.
Just because it is possible to do 3G video calls doesnt mean that MSN will use the same compression method.
What they'd first need to develop is voice calls through MSN. Not just voice clips.
hey, check out microsoft portrait, it has an app for both PC and PPC it is actually a development for voice/cam chat for portable devices, work on my wizard, however I don't have a hermes, so you will just need to try it and see, post back the results.

on my wizard it does have a drop down for the different cameras it detects, however the wizard only has one camera, so i believe it may bring up both cameras on the hermes

Cool stuff! Will try it out as soon as I get a internet connection.. Just now Im located in Netherlands (against my will ) without internet subscription and with horrible dutch 3g data transfer pricing.
Reporting back from Finland! The land of the thousands lakes and stuff..
---
sry for that.. just noticed that the file is actually under 1 meg.. so even I can afford that with stupid dutch pricing..
I tried to install it but i couldn't
I've got the last windows installer but the msi gives me a error message every time (i'm running a windows xp professional sp2)

I will try that out later tonight. Which version of WM are you running? 5 or 6? and which version of the phone you have? ..or maybe you ment that its not installing on your computer..
I mean that is not installing on my computer, if I transfer the file to my hermes, it doesn't work either.
Does it work for you ?
I'm on WM6 (Schaps version 3.54c)
Would it be possible to use either the front facing or rear camera as a webcam in a program such as live messenger or skype on the touch hd?

You could search the forum too...
While it is interesting to be able to use the HD as a webcam on the PC. It would be more interesting to be able to use Skype webcam directly from the HD (in house).
This one claims to do video calls via IP directly from VideoPhones without going through your provider. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it supports Skype. http://www.octro.com/

Have you checked it out yourself???
Forget it! Part of the first is the well known "Cool Camera" prog 1.15. And Cool Camera doesn't work on the HD.
Also your second advice isn't running on the HD.

I think that's what the topic user is aiming at, using the front camera as a webcam in programs on the HD itself.
Would be kinda cool .
yeah sorry maybe i didn't make my question clear... I was wondering if you could have the camera working as a webcam purely on the phone. Videocalling over IP or sending video through windows live messenger for mobile.
did a search on the forums but nothing came up. i'm surprised and can't see why it's not been done. it's possible on desktop pcs so why not mobile devices?
is it too much data to send? i would have thought HSDPA would be fast enough.

Standard 3G can manage video phonecalls, which are essentially identical to net video calls. Maybe internet calls have a little extra overhead and need slightly more cunning programming to overcome the lack of a dedicated network, but otherwise it's the same thing.
As far as I understand HTC's strategy is one of supporting and working with the carriers. As the carriers want us (in Europe at least) to make high-priced, and therefore high margin, video calls via our cam equipped devices, HTC disabled the front cam for any internet chatting, or voip calls.

You asked for the software that provides a webcam interface to PC, not whether it's compatible with Touch HD. You can test yourself if you want.

Hi all,
I've been looking for software to stream live video from my WM6 device. I'd like to use my old Samsung i600 as a IP camera, if possible.
Who knows of any software to stream video from the i600 which can be viewed in a browser?
I think I used Qik some years ago, but I'm not able to find the right WM version of the QIK software.
I found TinyCam two post below, but it doesn't work well on " no touch screen" i600
Thanks in advance.
JW
I'm looking for this app too. Does anybody know something about turning i600 into a ip camera?

I used qik video to stream from windows mobile, but it's no longer supported or available. I think you may find an old cab online that works.
This?

bit of a bump to old post, but i use livecast, you can watch it live on webpage (private or public) and records video/sound. You can also have it save to SD card too if you don't have internet connection. It works well as a dash cam too, limited to quality of my touch pro 2's camera... IE can't read plate numbers
