awsome software....just tried it and it works great....tho its nearly impossible to get the athena to sit right.
I saw this ATEKSOFT software and thought it was very clever however from this point on I am advising people not to buy it. Although the software looks slick the customer service offered by the company is appalling. What is more, if you post complaints on their forum about the quality of after service they get deleted. Not what I would look for from someone who wants my money.
Nice idea - very badly executed.
You can do it for free
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler
This is why I love this forum. I've learned something new today - I never would have thought of using the camera as a webcam, or about My Mobiler. I love My Mobiler, very cool app; note, it says you can connece via WiFi, too, not just Activesync. Interesting feature, when you activate "Mouse Curser To", and it essentially turns your mobile into a 2nd (or 3rd) display device for your desktop, with mouse and all.
One problem though, when I activate my camera I get normal video/pictures on the Athena, but only the foreground graphics (camera settings) on the desktop. The video is just a black screen. Any ideas?
Mobiler don't capture the camera

Hello.
I have the same problem.
My Mobiler shows only the foreground graphics.
Is there a way to shows what the camera shows in the athena screen?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Funny, I'm getting the same problem with my new touchII. It still works with both an Artemis and a Pharos on 6.1 Rom's.
Maybe something to do with the camera software or that it is a 6.5 ROM?
Can anyone confirm this?

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 work 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...

This is one good surprise. I have been using Pocket PC Phones since the first O2 XDA, then XDA II, then i-mate PDA2, and none was really compatible with any TV remote control software (unless you sit at a distance of 1 meter from your TV!). But now everything changed with the Jasjar. The IRDA is so powerful: I am using it as a TV/DVD/VCR... remote control nearly from any distance (even with small obstacles between the TV and the Jasjar). I tried NoviiRemote and Total Remote: they both worked perfectly.
Thanks for your report. Although I can't get Total Remote working on my I-mate Jarjar (Changed to DOPOD Chiniese rom) , however NoviiRemote works perfectly on it, and it even have VGA support!!!!
My jasjar and NR_deluxe
I am using NR_deluxe with distance 7 m :wink:
Yes, thanks for your report - I've just installed NoviiRemote.
At the very least, it'll be fun to turn off all those advertising screens that UK supermarkets have started introducing, as well as any any other CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) devices that happen to be in range.
awesome! thanks for letting us know - I wasn't even gpoing 2 bother testing remote apps after every device in my past failed so miserably.
Has anyone found a remote control app that works in landscape yet? The IR transmitter is on the side of the Universal right?
i try it
i can change channel at the maximum distance of 35 cm. (panasonic plasma)
change track to dvd at no more 40 cm
noviiremote deluxe 3.1 (05.08.30a)
jasjar rom 1.13.53wwe
this remote is useless.....
or i did something wrong
I have the O2 Exec and NoviiRemote Deluxe works well, good range. However Novviremote is let down by the lack of CCF support and the lack of a landscape mode. And the design mode is a little clunky.
Total Remote doesn't work for me. It can learn fine, but it doesn't seem to transmit anything (using iRDA or the Griffin option - not that I have a Griffin iRda).
WinCESoft Remote II looks to be the pick of the bunch, supporting VGA, CCF landscape et al, but I only have the crippled trial version of this software.

How about WinCESoft Remote II? Does it work on the HTC Universal?
What happens to Novii Remote if you switch screen to landscape? Does it still work since it has no landscape support?

Doesn't work at all in landscape, that'll be a great update or o2 execers...
But I'm gonna go ahead and buy it anyhow, and wait for an update. 10 times nicer to use than my previous PDAWIN.

Thanks for this response. I was going to try it when I get home. I guess I'll write to the developer of Novii Remote and ask when they will have support for landscape and WM5. Merry Christmas!
cannot create codebase TV_XXX
Hi,
When i trie to configure a device in Noviiremote Deluxe, i go to add new device and i follow the wizard. In last step, appear this message - "cannot create codebase TV_XXX".
Any ideia?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
I have installed Noviiremote Deluxe on my exec and set it up to work for my sky+ box which is great when the misses decides to hog the sky remote. But when i try to configure my Bang & Olufsen remote it crashes when it tries to read the volume up and down buttons. Anyone else had this problem?
I use Novii + Nikon ML-L3 DSLR IrRemote shutter profile and saved myself around 30USD
Remote control was one of the first thing i tested after getting the Universal & the CIR in Universal is quite strong, it didn't even need line of sight! :lol:
I came up with a great pseudo-hack for NoviiRemote Deluxe using MortScript.
For those who've tried to use the software properly, you have to have the screen flipped in portrait mode, yet use the software in landscape mode and hold it like a Sony PSP while aiming it at your TV or home equipment. Of course, if you flip it before you launch the program, it's in portrait mode. If you flip it after you launch the program, it will switch to a portrait skin. Neither method is good, especially if the IR port is on the device's side.
So, using MortScript, I came up with this nifty batch file:
Code:
message "Press OK when screen is flipped properly.","NR Deluxe"
run "\Program Files\NoviiMedia\NR Deluxe\NR Deluxe.exe"
sleep 1000
rotate 270
With this batch file, at least you'll be prompted to flip your screen around which will make the device turn portrait, to which it will launch the program after you press OK. It will wait a quick second, then rotate the screen to landscape mode, making the program switch to a landscape skin. From there, you can skin your remote the way you like it.
Voila! (God, I love MortScript - it is the shiznit!)
thx
Cool, I can confirm WinCESoft Remote II is working on my O2 Exec, had to change the com port in Remote II to com1 instead of com2 but apart from that seems to work perfectly! Range so far upto 7 feet, angle is a little fussy though more than 10/15 degrees either side of straight line and it stops working. Have tested with my Samsung Digi Cable box and my Matsui DVD Recorder.
Draw back it the landscape/portrait mode seems to get a bit screwed but I may need to get more skins as I dont seem to have a VGA 640x480 in the list .

i use it with the exec and it works all fine. just that under the drop down menu for webcam settings, i cannot select my old webcam so decided against it.
vapor,
The program has no problem working on my QTEK9000 and I have no problem using my existing webcam on my PC as well
No need to select any webcam. Just plug-and-play my existing webcam
From memory, isn't this app just taking Photos and streaming them across? I've never tried it but read that elsewhere...
V
Damn, I thought this was gonna add a vidcam for the Pocket PC version of MSN Messenger..
This is pretty cool. If it was high quality and had the option of using both the cameras (not at once) on the universal I'd defo consider the €5 registration.
JAmes
i welcome donations too
I wonder if skype will be supported
this is good but it would better if you could use the camera near the screen on the Universal instead of the main camera...is there a possibility of this?
If this works with WLAN, then you have in your posession a wireless IP camera (of sorts) - haven't tried it myself yet, as have only just read about this app and I'm at work.
Does it only work with MSN or can you use it in any video capture apps?
Thats exactly what you have, although i wouldnt leave it lying about
Its not of good enough quality video (if you ask me) to pay for yet, if this could be improved it would def. be worth paying for.
being able to use the video camera would be good too.
Its seen by windows as a capture device so I imagine it should be able to be used with capture sw.
JAmes
It works with LxCamView.exe on the desktop....
However, if I launch any other application (Trillian, VLC etc.) the app on my PPC fails to pair up with my desktop and throws an error...
Am i missing something???
(Otherwise, its awesome over wifi!!! A poorman's spy camera )
Cheers,
S
tried with my dopod with new rom...
doesnt work
installed the simcap.inf file on my PC but when i try to run the Lxcam application, i get an error msg saying "is not a valid win32 application"
can anyone shed some more light on this as i'd love to have this app up and running.
thank you

If you guys read the installation instructions and readme of the website, its clearly stated this is a known problem. The fix is: (taken straight off the website)
If there are problems with a second webcam in MSN Messenger
If you have selected the LxCamView webcam and it is impossible to switch to another webcam, close MSN Messenger completely (choose Exit in the menu of the MSN Messenger icon in the system tray). Then go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager. Under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers, select SimCap. Choose Deactivate, and the LxCamView webcam will not appear any longer in MSN Messenger.

HELP
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.

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

sry for that.. just noticed that the file is actually under 1 meg.. so even I can afford that with stupid dutch pricing..

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)
Here's one stupid question.
Altrough the camera seems to be ok in terms of hardware drivers i can't seem to find any utility to start it neither in control pannel or anywhere else. I cannot use it in yahoo messenger or similar services. Can someone enlight me about that camera?
camera does work , but only in MSN messenger
I played with the camera too...
The only program that recognizes the camera, and uses it OK , is MSN (live) messenger.
X-Lite (Voip Software with camera option) usually detects any camera I got.
However, on the Shift, no joy !
Also, another program called WinTLV (Superb windows time lapse recording software)
does not see the camera.
Drivers...drivers...drivers.... c'mon HTC .. supply us with new ones

yep the Active Web Cam program works. I've tested it yesterday without any problems. However the program can't facilitate the usage of the camera with other programs.
I want to run the camera alone to take photo, do you guys know any good software out there with good and clean interface which does this job?

I had the same problem of the camera showing as installed but not recognised by MSN, Skype, etc. So I just deleted the driver (from Device manager). Windows then rediscovered it and then it worked fine!
I have been using "cheese" on ubuntu. it has preview and can be used to capture video or still pictures.

This one is more than capable. The one posted earlier on page 1 (can't remember what it's called) has been discontinued.
But the one quoted above is perfect just for using the camera for point and shoot, video or stills.
Thanks.
Edit>>Struggles a bit with video (low frame rate, a bit like video calling quality, or like video phone you see on the news!) but I haven't really had a good luck around the settings yet too see if it can be manually improved.
I have installed the Debut Video Capture Software on my Shift, but when I run it it defaults to 'screen' which replicates my screen image but when I click 'Device' the selection remains at screen. I can't see any options to enable my camera device.
Anyone know what to do next?
(The dorgem one worked fine so my Shift hardware is not in question.)
Camera software
I tried a program called "AMCap" that I had. (You will have to Google for it, I can't remember where I got my).
It seems to catch the video & audio and lets me take stills and such.
