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.

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 !

i was ondering if there were any software that would allow 2exec' to estabilish a video chat session over wifi rather than paying for the 3G rates... also if there were a way to do the same with regular pc users too
thanks for any information
Not as yet even though the camera does have the facility to be integrated into applications, unfortunately no-one has yet!
Video calling is good though!
I sent an email to the MS Portrait team and they told me that this may be included in a future version if they can get the camera API.
I think it would be a killer app that will separate the Jasjar from all the others.

You are wrong. With PocketCaster www.comvu.com you can stream videos from both cameras via GPRS, UMTS, WiFi up to Comvu-Server.

Thanx, man! Bravo for the info!
That's amazing! I just downloaded and played a bit but I couldn't really play that much seeing as O2 only give me 1MB a month!! booooo
Dubrand,
Thanks for the info. However since I haven't yet seen this tool you are referring to, is this tool solely a video blog? In other words, from what you are saying, it cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (like in MSN Messenger on the PC) but only to save and upload a video clip on a server no?
Tks.
Thanks Dubrand! Looks like a fun little app/service. 8)
Thanks a lot!
It cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (YET). But i think this is a terrific proof of the concept that the build in camera can be used in (interactive) applications from third parties. An exciting promise for future use of the HTC Universal.
thanks for the info. i think this is a must have and when it is fully integrated into say msn messenger this will be my far the best device / gadget for years
3g video web conferencing
Any developers who fancy having a bash at developing such a website feel free to contact me. www.meetnow.co.uk...I have the ideas, web address (not live yet)...but lacking the technical know how..

i would really love to get the vga camera works on MSN messanger, the other day my web cam just died & i was desperately wanted to go live with my family, but i couldn't find a way to make it work.
it surely will be a big kicka**
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 !
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
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.

anyone else tried it ?
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!

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)
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?
maybe a search like this

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?
Tried http://www.google.com.au/search?cli...+webcam+over+network&meta=&btnG=Google+Search or http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=...m+webcam+over+local+network&btnG=Search&meta=
try digi-watcher. works for me.

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
I cant believe it - all you need to do, is to put your keywords into google
