Lx Camera Viewer

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

It's a wrapper with source code, i think that says all.

er... it only works when connected trhu USB?! er... wouldn't a normal webcam be cheaper?
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 work on mda 2
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...

LxCam does work, but veeeeeery slowly. Is it uploading individual pictures rather than using a streaming method?

agree.. it's really slow... but what the heck.. it's better than nothing :wink:

A pity no real webcam solution exists for the built in cameras.

i-mate as Webcam?

Hi, Is there any software for pc that use imate as a webcam?
Baris

Try http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/fr/index.php?soft=1226

download link is dead..can u post the file here..thanks

link is up again, but CAB seems to be corrupted :?

Sorry if I got this wrong, but wasn't the question for a PC-app which enables us to use the Magician like a webcam (like Logitech QuickCam)? This one seems to be a simple app for the PPC to take and view photos.

try this, it does work, though not very stable and fast:
http://www.zone1.de/

I meant, I want to use imate camera as a webcam. So there must be a software that we can install on pc that get the video stream and use it on msn or other programmes.
Is there anything like that?

Use MDA as webcam for MSN
more specific then:
http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/LxCam.html#latest

I tried the program,but skype and msn don't see the webcam.Some suggest?

I tried too. The picture quality on desktop is so poor. And msn doesnt recognize the camera.
Any alternative?

zanfo try this
1. Copy LxCam v1.03 folder to \Program Files
2. Make shortcut to the LxCam.exe.
3. On desktop, go to Control Panel  Add Hardware  Next.
4. Choose “Yes, I have already connected the hardware”. Click Next.
5. Scroll down and choose “Add a new hardware device”. Click Next.
6. Choose “Install a hardware that I manually select from a list”. Click Next.
7. Choose “Sound, video and game controller” from the list. Click Next.
8. Click on the “Have Disk .. “ button.
9. Browse in the previous LxCam v1.03 folder and find simp.inf. Click Next.
10. Start the camera within the application on the PC. After that, start LxCam1.03.exe on Pocket PC. It attempts to connect with the PC. Sometimes it takes much time (up to ~30 sec.) until it recognizes.

I reinstall all as write in the guide,now msn recognise the webcam(poor quality)but skype can't see it.....

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
RTFM!!!!!
Use the built-in camera like an USB webcam with MSN Messenger on Desktop PC
Connection with PC is possible over WLAN or USB/ActiveSync
Runs only under Windows XP
Tested with MSN Messenger Version 7.5
Works possibly also with other DirectShow compatible applications
Works also with VLC
Does not work with Skype
:wink:

This is really brilliant! I was just about to get a cheap webcam, instead this thread saved my money!
OK, the quality isnt that great, but at least I don't need to squeeze my pimples.

That's the main reason for the picture quality. I just think about to market the product as PimpleCam® 1.0
Thank you for the inspiration

using TyTN as msn webcam with Coolcam

Strange, it worked with me just great - see my review & tutorial of the title, I've also posted some MSN screenshots.
Try switching to the old WM5 AS networking mode if, for example, it's a firewall issue.

managed to get it working sir, reinstalled coolcam once had installed the C++ thing from MS....works great...excellent

may I know what C++ you've installed on the PC in order for Skype or Yahoo Messenger to recognise coolcam in webcam setting? I'm able to see the webcam stream with the CoolCameraXP not able to select coolcam as webcam in Skype and Yahoo msg.

which C++ from MS did u install? i am also trying to use my TyTn as a webcam on msn messenger, but so far, no luck.
any help would be appreciated!

bump for a response

whoops sorry its been a while since i looked at this thread!
PM me next time people as i dont always look in here. I looked on the microsoft website and found the MS VC++ 2005 Redistributable download. I believe this is what i used as I had to check and see what was in my Add/Remove programs on my PC, this is the thing i used i believe.
Good luck people.

so, forgive me if i'm missing something, is this only for using your device as a webcam whilst connected to your pc, or for using mobile skype or wlm?
i really can't see the point of it if it's only for desktop machines.

you access the front cam either using coolcam on the device or via activesync (works over BT/wifi/usb).
Its not to enable the front cam for skype etc..

The first link on this page is for the trial, which only runs for a minute at a time. I use this software, as it gives me a wireless webcam with built in microphone.

MSN messenger app with frontcam as webcam ?

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.
/Henry

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.
http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/
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)

Remote desktop mobile - h e l p please

Hi People
I'm searching for a great remote desktop mobile for my new HD2 and have problems to find something good.
I'd love to install LogMeIn, but i suppose is impossible at this moment,
This Night i found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&NR=1&feature=fvwp
I suppose is from RDM plus, i install a demo version 3.7.6 and it is very different compared to the Remote desktop mobile from youtube Video.
Where can i find the remote desktop mobile from youtube video?
Need your help, please
Thanks

That's the remote desktop client that comes with Windows mobile 6.5. It's in your start menu, in the tools folder

boss the remote desk top shown in you tube vedio is same as in hd2 .........
its not different ........

Logmein - Ignition works just fine.
or as the others just said - just use the one that came with your HD2.

just wondering whether anyone could help us to set it up step by step...
also just wondering do you have to have a router or it can also work on wireless USB broadband (thats what i have)

I used the theme in our forum for this, but I didnt succeeded with it, because Im using PPPoE internet and when I set everything, their appears conflict and the internet drops...

I found the app already, but what I'm looking for is how I can setup the use of a remote desktop gatewayserver?
The server I address is an IP-address, but in the Windows 7 setting, I need to specify this gatewayserver.
I'm no admin, so I can't install something @ server side.
Thanks for your help!
Koen
PS I was even trying to run only Remote App, instead of Remote Desktop...

First off - well done on getting it working
Secondly, install BsB Tweaks (if you haven't already) as that will let you fix both zooming and auto-rotating in it.
In BsB you can say you want to add an app for either zooming or rotating (you do them seperately, but it's the same process). You'll have to shake the device to let BsB know which app to make changes for. Just make sure you do it on a connected session (in remote desktop), NOT the login screen. They're 2 different things.
