Hello,
is there a program or a setting for allowing filming but when on/off button pressed the filming not to stop?In this manner we can still film but noone to observe.
Thanks,
Another possibility for your spyCam would be to write a programm which films and shows a black screen.
the idea is good
i know...but there is nothing done at the moment?
A GOOD spy cam should have movement detection trough the cam, so it can:
Make a photo, a video, play an alarm when movement is detected;
Register only audio
Upload it to anywhere,
Send it via MMS
launch an app.
Nothing exist like this, the only "decent" app is JGUI InvisibleShooter, but still (and i think never) not complete.
Symbian OS are full of that apps.

hi,
wouldn't it be great, if we could use our diamond as video surveillance system?
the app just needs two options:
- select whether the front or the back camera is to be taken for recording
- select whether to record to internal storage, or the video to be sent by wifi to a pc for example.
while recording (surveilling), the screen of the diamond should be black (or off).
is there such an app existing? or can someone write this piece of software?
what do you think about this idea ?
sounds like a good idea but i dont know how easy it would be to code
Do these sites help at all? I just did a google search...
This is the one that I use, http://vannara.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/pocket-pc-phone-as-webcam-or-surveillance-camera/... takes a bit of playing but does work.
Or have a look at these:
This software alows you to control cameras in your home remotely, http://www.camerasecuritynow.com/CCTV-DVR/CCTV-PDA.asp, very cool!
This one the work computer has blocked me viewing, however sounds good on Google, www.filecluster.com/Security/Keylogger-Monitoring/Download-Spy-Camera-Software-2009.html.

Disclaimer 1: I'm not a developer.
Disclaimer 2: I searched and didn't find a similar app
In searching for applications to improve the results from my wife's iPhone camera, I came across a few iPhone apps that cleverly use the accelerometer to assist in picture taking -- namely they wait until the accelerometer registers the fact that the phone has stopped moving before triggering the shutter.
It seems to me that a similar application would work on the Diamond/Touch Pro/HD -- once the "shutter button" has been pressed, the camera autofocuses, and then waits for a "steady" moment to finish taking the picture.
Again, I'm a UI/Tech Specs type of person, so I don't know how open the camera api is. That said, it seems, in theory, that this should work and wouldn't be to tough to do (hell, they managed to do it on the iPhone).
What do you think?

Have you really noticed a difference on iPhone with this program?
here you go buddy
this may solve ur problem
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/download-kais-photo-bubble-level-net-1-2.html
That's an interesting app, but not quite the same thing. While it's nice that it lets you level the shot, it doesn't look like it uses the accelerometer to trip the shutter. So the hand shake potential is still there.
As far as the Steadycam app, it helps. It isn't going to turn the iPhone into a digital camera replacement, but it does assist low light pictures.
Here's a review of two of the iPhone Apps I've been playing with:

It is a good app if it exists. It is good for someone's hands are not steady when taking photos.

Camera Focus Unwrapped:
http://www.fuzemobility.com/camera-focus-unwrapped/
Been searching since I got my HD2, that is 2 months ago now: there is apparently no way to record video in background on this phone, and it is absurd.
I basically need it as a car black box system, to work together with mp3 player and navigation/gps tracking software.
I found a russian pay software that should do exactly that, together with gps overimposing of current speed, but "garbled" is the best adjective to describe it with when installed on the HD2.
I tried QIK and LiveCLIQ, but they do no support HD2 officially, nor the cab that I downloaded for the touchpro2 worked.
Is that possible that the only software able to effectively record video on the HD2 is the builtin HTC camera, which is less than optimal in settings, and is not able to record in background? (even went through all its keys in HKLM and HKCU, but nothing interesting there).
Could any of you suggest a working solution, even if I am widely losing any hope since google didn't turn up anything during all this time?
I am looking for a solution also, tried the russian software too and it was not usable at all. Found a thread about a backgrounding app but doubt it will be any good. So the search continuous. Hope something can be found.
you could still point me to that thread, you never know
I also think that's not feasible because as soon as the camera app loses the focus it seems to stop recording, and that's silly to say the least... but trying won't hurt anyway, at least for the time being, until another app is released.
Depressing that Android is so young and it's already got its freeware car blackbox software, which is even better (on the paper) than the russian pay software.
new version of LiveCLIQ works
hi!
they released a new version (r5075) which finally woks for my HD2.
Find the app here: at LiveCLIQ homepage and select "HTC Touch HD T8282".
Best
good news, will go check right now
Highly disappointed about livecliq:
forces landscape mode... htc camera shows as landscape, but the system is still in portrait, while livecliq actually rotates the display
resources hog, and slow as hell: while the HTC camera displays the images almost realtime as you move the viewport, livecliq lags considerably, and looks more like a fast slideshoq than a real video; while recording, you can put it in background with hide, but the rest of the system is pretty much unuseable from how much slow it is
generally useless for "our" purposes; sure, being able to upload or strem the videos directly online may be a good thing for those who are intrerested, but the developers decided to lock the program to just that function, as the video is recorded as a chain of 1MB max segments in "raw" format, and is not watchable offline
you cannot choose the save location, offline videos are saved under the install folder, which means hell for those who always install to internal memory, and keep the storage card for what it's meant, that it, storage
so well, livecliq is a no go, HTC camera is still the best if only it worked in background.
is there any camera application on the market that supports the option of taking multiple pictures without the user pressing the button to take them?
for example, an app that can do the following: i set the app to take a picture every 5 seconds for an hour without me touching the phone.
if not, anyone care to develop something like this? it would be quite useful in many different circumstances
Not that I know of, but I just found a cool app called Motion Detector. Will monitor for motion from your camera and upload a picture.
Though, if your phone is the one doing the motion detecting... how do you get the updates?
thanks for the help, ill check out that app. it may be of some use
Hey i just wanted to know if there is a way to focus the camera in wp7 becouse it's all blurry?
Yes im having the same problem
camcorder is working fine
Unless we get a sort of focus implementation like in android then it's just like that. The camera was designed to have a button which could be half pressable to focus, and then when pressed in fully, takes the picture. Obviously we don't have a button like that so, a touch sort of focus needs to be implemented for us, until then, pictures will be blurry for now.
Wonder if a person could create a double tap to take a picture app..

'double tap' amazing idea!
Solution to problem
Quick'n'dirty Workaround to Autofocus:
1. Before taking the picture, switch to video mode
2. Wait for the camera to refocus ~1 second - you will see the image sharpness change
3. Switch back to camera mode and take your picture
This works because the camera will simply retain the focus distance that the video camera set.
So, until Microsoft implements touch-focus (which they really should) we could just use this.

quick you have to be like lightning to take a picture as it starts un-focusing straight away.
By the time you press the button you have moved the phone so its blurred & camera is already out of focus.
Must be an easier way.
Please please please someone design a fix for the camera.
I loved the panoramic shot aswell on hd2 but everything is gone.
Video is great but camera is poor.
Thank you
Before taking a picture toggle between photo and video mode. That fixes the autofocus issue. Not an ideal solution but an alternative nonetheless
maybe its can help for developers :
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/151485/Hacking-the-WP7-Camera-The-basics.aspx
Maybe a possible solution could be map the focus function (the half click) in another button?
I think the solution is because we don't have a two position button is to do touch the screen to focus and then take the shot. But that probably requires a lot of coding.
Until this is sorted, I think its a major flaw with HD2 and WP7
Use the camera a lot, unless its bright sunlight the camera just will not focus.
Luckily I can dual boot, lets hope for a fix of some application that uses touch screen to focus
It's possible the focus could be mapped to one of the volume buttons within the Camera app.
This would likely depend on the half-press on native WP7 systems having its own key mapping, separate from the full-press, and the Camera app listening for each keymapping separately. We'd just need to hack the keymapping for the half-press to the volume button. This is, of course, if WP7 still deals with keymapping the way earlier versions did.
Also, if the Camera app treats the camera button as some kind of special case, and rather than 2 mappings for half- and full-press, it has a single mapping, it'll likely need a major rewrite to support focus on the HD2.
Fingers crossed it's just a case of searching the code for keypress 0xC1 and replacing it with 0x76 (for example).

640x480 is not good enough.
It will be unlikely we'll be able to map this app to replace the internal Camera app completely.
Will 3rd party apps, like barcode readers, be able to use this app?
Hexediting the native Camera app and changing the key mapping, and cooking it into a new ROM would be much better.
That app shows promise, though.
Dont know if this helps, but here is another solution that claims to fix HTC HD2 cam running WP7. no camcorder though.. http://aliwaqas.info/shcamera-fixes-camera-issues-on-htc-hd2-running-windows-phone-7-xap/

Autofocus works PERFECT!
For recording videos, just use the original camera app.

Well one solution if we are to implement focusing through buttons instead of touch, is that we have the call button when held down, focus, and then the camera will take the picture after we've released the call button.

That's the behavior I thought would be appropriate too.
A touch screen focus would be even better, cause it would allow, like on WinMo 6.5, to focus wherever we want on the picture. But it would require a more coding than just adding a press-to-focus/release-to-shoot behavior.
The SHCameraApp is nice, but its resolution is limited, and it would be nicer to have a single, integrated app to do the photos and videos. Nonetheless, it's a nice workaround for the time being.
