Hi,
I´m trying to develop an application that can communicate with the camera application in my PDA (Qtek 2020).
In order to communicate with the camera application, I want to use the DDE mechanism.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the DDE VIs in LabVIEW 7.1 PDA Module.
And also, if anyone has already tried to develop some similar application and knows where
can I get information about the communication protocol, so that i can send the correct messages to the camera application.
Thanks for any help,
Pedro Sampaio
try doing a search in the hacking it forum
for
camera AND sdk or API
but it's not an easy thing to dance with the camera of the htc devices
Has anybody able to use Microsoft Portrait with the internal cam of JASJAR. Is there any other video conferencing software which will work in GPRS speed
I have just written to Skype and Microsoft Portrait in regards to the HTC Universal's front-facing camera, and more importantly, the availability of the "common camera API" that is available on the Windows Mobile 5 SDK. Let's hope either one responds with some good news soon.
In the meantime, there's no other application out there that uses the camera except for ComVu's PocketCaster (www.comvu.com) and a couple shareware programs that utilize the Camera app to upload to an FTP server or something.

Thanks for the info, I can't wait to see it. This would be a nice gift to the US Uni users who can't make use of the built in video phone app.
I tried Camera Capture sample from Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK and
I can access big camera, but I can't get image from small one.
I tried "CAM2:" as camera name, tried FindNextDevice() - it doesn't work.
Does anybody know how to access second camera?
Undocumented interface?
Registry setting?
HELP!

i'm also interrested about this info.
I am also interested:Nobody knows how to use the second camera for the skype or messenger you have installed in you HTC Universal, not as webcam for desktop computer.
*Bump*
I've searched through the forum and unfortunately haven't found any DirectShow solutions to access the front camera of the HTC Universal (or TyTN). Only thing I found was some low level .dll hacking.
If anybody has found a way to access the second capture device (front camera), please share.
Thanks in advance
I don't know how to access second camera.
But I know that CoolCamera can use the second camera to take pictures,and also as a webcam for desktop computer
Hi
Is there anyone who makes this software working?
I`ve installed coolcamera without errors but after taping shortcut program is loading for about 1-2 s. and everything returns to main window.
Best regards
Cool camera not support for BA.
No software for BA to become Webcam
Have fun.
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
Py Software Active Webcam
killer_t, what are you trying to tell us?

With the program Active Webcam from Py Software can use the build-in Shift camera.. You can do video and photo
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 use Dorgem v2.1.0 it's a small and freeware software.

it doesn't seems to have a preview windows, does anyone else know anything better then this?
It has. Click on the preview button
Nice little camera app. Thanks.
Yu can use this one too

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.
