I know this program and it is really nice. A wireless webcam for ......
..... ok not freee but not such expensive. and it works fine after you have reached to set it up.
But great walkthrough...
gThx
yeah, I have tried this program ... and its kind of pointless ...
unless you have a hot girl taking a shower or changing at your apartment and you leave it in there in a corner..... besides that, its kind of pointless! hahahah
ahh but if you launch a vpn connection, then you can follow your phone anywhere.. e.g you let your girl borrow you phone or if you left it somewhere, you can "see" where you left it.
Yeah, it'll probably be at the bottom of her purse while she's getting it from some dude. \
But if you wanted to spy on someone, you should check out flexspy or something like that.
haha i dont know about all that spying but i used it because i dont have a Webcam for Windows Vista HAHAH
when you have an exgirlfriend like mine ... you need such as this ... including but not limited to GPS ankle bracelets, a contact in the CIA, FBI, NSA or any of these so you can track her with satellite..... etc...

Well Duprade,
I queyt (hope i spelled it right) disagree with you..
I have some friend's who doesn't have a webcam but are chatting alot with MSN Messenger ( Windows Live in this case ).
I've asked them if they want a Webcam and all said yes.. so i installed a program on their pc wich is much like this one but called different..
dont know what's the name anymore..
And since then they are useing their phones
they are pleased with it really.. and i too dont have a webcam but i do have a Herald and im gonna use this program instead of my own pre-made program.
but oh well.. im not that much on MSN tho.. so....
But anyway.. Nice Program.. Keep up the good work..
Oh and BTW duprade.. i kinda regonize you from something.. did you were on the BBC one time..?
maybe there is a version and maybe the author of this thread knows more about -
we will not make it public here.....
hope you understand the rule No11. warez will kill this forum

HTC Polaris
Hi there,
Thank you for this software. I just tried it on to my Polaris, and my screen stays black, whatever I tried or change in the panel menu...
Seems it doesn't work onto Polaris ? Or I maybe missed something ? (A bit difficult to fix it during the very short trial period)
How does it work with Vista?
Vista doesn't support activesync anymore (built in). On my Herald I have the program running and on my laptop the program is searching for a connection. My Herald is connected through USB.
Can anybody help me with this? Are there some preferences yet to choose?
No go on Polaris
My Polaris does not show anything either, it does not initiate any of the sources. Any ideas? Thank you.
Hello there! quick question here:
I have 2 ppc here (my old wizard and a hermes). I know that there is programs that makes your ppc turn into a webcam, but in case I want to go further in the spy (or whatever) thing... and want to broadcast the images made from the cam of one ppc (for exemple the wizard) into the other (the hermes). Is there such "webcam viewer" for ppc?
I used something similar to this at one point, maybe this exact thing. Its really nice and useful =]
video calling
Does anyone know how to use this program or any other one to enable video calling on PPC cell phones like on my Sprint HTC Mogul?
I put the trial version of this program on my Sprint HTC Mogul and it work well for webcam. The program also says it can turn phone into a microphone too. But I can't get any sound to transfer to the computer. I checked out all the setting in my computer and on my phone. The webcam program does not have any settings for sound other than checking the sound option under: Menu-->Source. Does anyone know what to do here to get my Mogul to send sound to my computer using this program? Thanks.

Hi guys...
Can anyone tell me how to share/access files present on my hard drive so that I need not copy the files to my PPC. I did not mean " Activesync"
I probably remember someone by name "KARIM" who had mentioned about this in one of the imate forums. but I don't remember where it is now. He explained about installing the widcomm bluetooth stack & then having resco explorer 2003 installed. u can create a network share & map ur hard drives and access files on pocket pc. that would be rocking... u don't have to copy ur images/music to ur PPC. u could play them thru bluetooth at a decent speed.
can anyone help me out on this. It would be highly appreciated if anyone could give step by step instructions on how to go ahead with this.
I am having Widcomm Bluetooth stack installed from xda forum & I am using TDK Bluetooth Adapter. I have even resco explorer installed. I have updated my ROM to 1.11 WWE
awaiting for ur earliest reply.
Thanks & Regards
Iffu
Hmm ok, I think you are trying to do what I have done...
I can access the HDD on my Desktop pc from my XDA/i-Mate over a BT link.
The HDD on my desktop is shared out across the network, and the shared drives can be accessed by the PDA, using resco you can map network drives to the PDA and voila the drives are there.
This took me about 3 weeks to get running. The problem is My solution will probably be no good to you as it involves using my server which has Win Server 2003 on it and the solution involves using network address translation to the bluetooth network.....
I can hope fully give you some pointers though.
You need The widcomm stack on your mobile device as the pathertic MS builtin stack does not support the required profiles.
Get the widcomm stack installed and working ok, install the BT dongle and software on your desktop pc as well, you may get a network connection error icon on your desktop pc system tray. this is because the bluetooth network is off.
we are interested in the 'Network' profile (not the PAN profile), make sure the network access profile on the Desktop is enabled, create a paring to the desktop using widcomm stack, and the 'connect to a network' icon, the desktop pc will probaby ask for permission to connect. ( here is a major annoyance - you can select a checkbox that says ' always allow this connection' (or similar) this only works until the desktop pc is rebooted, after a reboot you will need to give permission again!! Since my server is very rareley rebooted it does not cause me a major problem - but if you find a way round it please let me know!)
Your desktop pc should report that the bluetooth network is now connected.
disconnect the connection, but you should now have a shortcut on your PDA in widcomm connection manager to the network connection.
Now for the tricky bit. If your Desktop is part of a network it gets difficult. if not it's easier...
We need to setup some ip addresses for the BT Lan. Decide on some ip addresses. you need one for the desktop and one for the PDA. (eg 192.168.0.50 & 192.168.0.51 mask=255.255.255.0)
On the desktop configure the ip address on the 'Bluetooth network' lan connection as you would any other lan card
On the PDA goto start/settings/connections (TAB)/connections/advanced (TAB)/network card - in the box labelled 'tap an adapter to modify settings' select Bluetooth PAN user driver' (if this is not here, your widcomm is not installed correctly) .This is where you put in the ip config for your BT network on the PDA
Now connect the BT network link again (Widcomm BT manager)
You should be able to ping your PDA with it's BT ip from your desktop, if it works, your BT LAN is now working. ( you can also get some free ping software for the PDA too, to test the other direction do a search for vxutil)
if the pings work ok, load up Resco and tell it to map a drive, hopefully the Desktop and it's shared disks should appear.
Let me know how you go...

Thanks for your explanation!!!
hmm but i think it's to many work :? i've got BT finally workt on my M500 for a few weeks now and don't wanna mess up with the widcomm drivers
maybe in the future with another Rom and maybe WM5 there's a better solution
The widdcom stack does not work on the mini.
U can try the bluesoleil stack... it has many profiles ( PAN, OPP, SYNC, LAP, DUN, FTP, FAX, HID, SPP, HCRP, BIP, Headset, AV ).. and it works on the mini.

no i don't think that it's standard if you mean that.
i mean if i set up the widcomm drivers maybe my BT is going to failure, it cost to many work to get it back on again... :?
it workt on my M500 in combonation with the Sitecom BT stick and the new drivers, so no wiodcomm drivers are been used
Hi i was just wondering if the camera on the front of the device can be used as a webcam while on msn messenger?Or if perhaps in some way it could be modified.It'd just be a cool thing to have when your away!cheers
if you mean a webcam for your pc then do a search for webcam in the forum because the universal would as much possible to act as the role of webcam as any other htc device with a cam
No i mean a webcam in itself.Since it will be capable of 3g calls i see n reason reason why i couldn't,in some shape or form be a webcam in itself while on msn on the ppc.Perhaps with some tweaking,i don't know just a question
oohh ok well does messenger pocket support webcams at all ?
i dident think it did
if it does it just need to support the htc cam
with ms portrait they dident support htc cams
if it does not support webcams then maybe in a future version
theres no options for it i can see, shame tho, i use jasjar alot on wifi and it could have so much potential for msnm
maybe in the next version

As first step have a look at http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/LxCam.html
LxCam is working with MDA pro / HTC Universal.
Conclusion: HTC camera was found.

Greetings. Gerd Dubrand
soz but i think you got the wrong end of the stick there,
agreed that is good and has it been successfull on the universal?? if so im gonna grab that baby!!!!!, If im correct that app is used to use the universal "AS" the webcam for a desktop pc, for use in msnm etc, but im on about pocket msnm actually on the phone, using the webcam within the phones version, surlly that is a big oops by M$ specially as theyre charging for the upgrade to the version on the universal
argh, to many different versions of the same thing!
Doesn't work on my JasJar. It complains: "Error opening HTCcamera.dll" or something along those lines.
it works on mine mda pro.
It uses the 1.3MP camera instead of the Cmos one..
And the screen is upside down on the pc, and i must hold the camera also upside down to get a straight picture.
its a great app !
It's a shame it cannot be used as a webcam in pocket msnm.Would be a great feature

I am hoping they are working on an API that will allow the second camera to be used as a webcam. I know MSN Portrait supports that on previous PPCs that had to have an camera installed via SDIO/card, so I don't see why it wouldn't be able to do the same with a built in cam

I e-mailed them and asked about future support. The reply was
" Thanks for your support. We may support windows mobile 5.0 in near
future."
So let's keep our fingers crossed. This would be the killer app.
videolan
Did someone tried http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-wince.html ? it's a really really good video/music player (ogg included) and can stream videos over the network.

Turn your new HTC pda into a webcam!
Turn your HTC PDA into a webcam
(a little slow and not as good quality as internal video, but still a neat little trick)
Note **** This is a trial version for 14 days ****
1. Download the following files
http://www.virtual-gadgets.com/download/LxCamView.exe
http://www.virtual-gadgets.com/download/LxCam1.01.exe
2. Copy LxCamView to the desktop computer and make a shortcut
3. Copy LxCam1.01.exe to the pda and make a shortcut
4. On Desktop/server, configure the firewall appropriately: add a TCP service with IP address of the Pocket PC (or internal lan or allow any device) with port number 4444
5. Start Wifi or Activesync Connnection
6. Start LxCamView on the desktop computer
7. Start LxCam1.01.exe on the pda

On Pocket PC, setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zone1\LxCam\Rotate to 1 rotates the picture by 180 degrees
He also has a great photo app that takes pictures with the pda camera and auto ftp's them to your web site... The photo app was cheap and works well on my jasjar, pda2k and my son's hp6315.
Check out this developers web site for more info
http://www.zone1,de
and no, I don't have anything to do with this web site or developer; I just thought he had a couple of good apps....
Does this work as a webcam for MSN? I know there used to be an app that did it for other PPCs, but that it didn't work for MSN.
Hi,
i am looking for an apllication to control myuniversal from a desktop computer.I have read it somewhere but i can't find the topic. What i want, is to use my PDA directly from desktop PC. As i remeber tha application was able togiv the full control to the PC and you was able to reach, run all appliacation and others from desktop monitor as if the desktop monitor would be display.
I need this because my screen had broken and before i send it to the service i need to use my PDA.

Try Microsoft Remote Display Control from this web link - but like with most applications you'll need to install it and run it on the Exec before you can connect to it so this may not be of much use...
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/wce/downloads/ppctoys.mspx#ELD
Start the "Remote Display Control Host" on your PC
Then on my Exec the key combination get this running once installed is:
Windows key->P (Open start menu and get to programs listing)
C then right arrow twice (Program is called "cerdisp" so on mine it's the 3rd application who's name starts with C, the first 2 being Calculator and Camera)
Enter then OK (Start the application and bypass the Microsoft copyright message)
C and then Enter (Connect and then accept the default hostname assuming you are using ActiveSync)
I hope this helps!

p.s. In my experience if you are using 640x480 this application only works in landscape. Not entirely sure why.
You want Pocket Controller from SOTI.
I use it at work - makes it easier to reply to texts - looks like I'm working while I'm actually arranging which pub to meet at that evening after work :wink:
That microsoft one is slick. Thanks!!! I have a wizard but this thread had recent activity so i checked it out. nice little app!!!.

Sir, thats the same as "remotelyanywhere"...
I having a play with it now, any ideas how to insall it on PPC ..

How do I do this ??
Wow, you're right - had no idea.

No idea what you're talking about there, I'm using it right now to hit my desktop to reply to your post, from my WM5 HTC Universal...
*Edit - added in-use screen shot, resized way down - actual image quality is fantastic.
i used logmein on my PDA2K and now my T-Mobile MDA works great on both 2003SE and WM5.0
i just wish i had a bigger screen......
Did you use it thru PIE on WM5, cause I used thru Net Front 3.3...
It asks you to download some cab when you first use it, I did this, restarted and then it asked me to download again, again etc...
So using PIE ( pocket internet explorer ) does it work thru that ???
VNC...
I'm using RealVNC to start a VNC service on the desktop... You can download a free VNC server software from here:
http://www.realvnc.com/
As for the client, I'm using one from Mochasoft:

Low bandwidth requirement and most importantly speedy...

yes, must use PIE
Using TightVNC servic on the desktop (supports scaling) and .Net VNCviewer on the Exec. Good enough, fast enough, and free.

For ease of use and "free is good" factor:
Logmein.com
- note:
When using logmein.com, PIE must be not be hacked. If changed from original version, it will not work (this was a month ago). Remote Desktop will connect but nothing will show up.
- tried with opera and also netfront, both didn't work for me.
opera would not even connect, and netfront will connect but won't show anything.
I concur with Net Front 3.3..
But z2 Remote PC, even after the Fuss of setting up an IP address at no-ip.com its all worth it.
I use PTvncWM5 to controll my home media pc.
It use verry low bandwidh on gprs
and looks great on Wifi
What do these offer beyond Terminal Services client? OK, TS logs you on in parallel on the server machine, but other than that? Seems pretty good on bandwidth and the age-old rule of "the less s/w you install, the less you'll screw up" applies :wink:
I got more toys and functions to play with via 2z remote2pc. Thats whyI chose this software.
Hey all, I thought of buying this:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=gb,en
Then I got high and got the idea "Maybe someone could just turn a WM phone into this!"
I have the HTC wizard so the touch screen would be perfect for a touch pad and the keyboard for, well a keyboard. It could work over activesync connected via bluetooth and it would be awesome overall! Maybe media keys on the touch screen as well?
Has anyone done such a thing? If not, it would be amazing if someone did .
Cheers, Kyle.

Wow, that would be awesome! I too have been looking at wireless keyboards and mouses since I have my computer hooked up to my TV. What a great idea to be able to use our phones to do that! Now, if only someone could make it happen.
BTW...I have never seen that logitech keyboard. I may look in to that.
yeah i looked around for software like that a while back and i remember coming across something. I'm pretty sure there is software like that for the iPhone, and something similar for the ppc. Don't remember what it was but what i do remember is it didn't work.
I believe there was a programs that turnes your PDA into a touch Pad, however it wasn't free...but I can't remember the name right now..
as for the wireless KB, there was another application that did the opposite, it took use of the PC keyboard, so you can type on your PDA while ActiveSync in on... I can't remember the name either , so there should be an app that will do it the other way around.
maybe someone else will help you more on this...
cheers

Most programs available seem to go in the opposite direction... controlling your PPC with your desktop keyboard / mouse.
But a search using Google does yield a few programs that have functionality you're looking for. Some are free, some are not. A couple probably do more than what you're looking for, similar to the Remote Desktop Connection already available in many ROM's. Here are a few you can look into.
Xronix Total Input
Salling Clicker
Remote Commander
PocketDrive
PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite
Enjoy!
Maybe this is what you are looking for. Its $16, but then again thats pretty cheap and how much is your time worth looking for a free replacement.

If only this worked with Windows Mobile 6.1 .
i got it to work on my kaiser.... and vista ultimate...
its okay, i do not like the button layouts for the remote...
not intuitive enough for me, and it looks like crap.
I might try and remap the buttons and make a new theme for it someday.
I like the functionality but really despise the implementation. Also i could not get the hard keyboard to actually work correctly (on screen of the VMC)
I agree. It definitely looks like crap. This could really be useful though for certain jobsites that I am required to bring a mouse and keyboard. It would really cut down on the bulk.
VNC is free...

I tried Total Input years ago and I remember it being pretty good.
Just a thought. If you main purpose is Home Theater PC (i.e. using that computer for playing video files) then you could consider the gyration remote. It's on clearance at Circuitcity right now for $36+tax.
