I've used severall PC programs that sends an webcam feed to the net, and you can see it with a simple browser, anywhere in the world thru internet. It's really good for home security and stuff.
The thing is, I cant see this live feeds in any Pocket Pc Browser Any Thoughts?
Try it using a program called "netfront" instead of the PIE, i use axis cameras, and servers, and have a PPC program just for viewing the cameras it works everytime
John
I've Tried NetFront. and can't see the video feed of any webcam survaeillance prog I've tried.
I wonder if you could imporove your odds by installing Java on your PPC
I got Midlet manager, what else can I install?

I've tried it, but I cant get to work the server part on the desktop side. it doesnt let me choose a video sorce
Anyway, this program works on instaling some software on the PPC too. I was looking for using a web explorer on the PPC like I do on a desktop to access the video feed. Any thoughts?

Security camera on pocket pc
Hi all. Did anyone figure out viewing an ip camera on pocket pc?
Have tried net front,can't seem to figure out address that works on axis software.Any suggestions gratefully considered. Thanks
RE
Hi lovemyxda,
You can try ViewCommander from www.viewcommander.com. There's a compatibility list of cameras there.
I've tried viewing using WiFi and GPRS. Have not try using 3G yet

Hi macsoft,
I've tried using my PPC as a webcam but to no avail.
Since you've succeeded in setting up your PPC as a webcam can you post your procedure here and the software you used.
Many thanks
Hi macsost, I have a Creative Webcam which come with a sorfware enabling it to send Jpeg to the net (like IP camera) . However, I don't know how to use such function. It seems that I have to set FTP ... or so on in order to see my webcam.
Could you kindly advise step by step which procedure I must follow to see my webcam.
There are several apps helping you doing this. but, a better option would be a network cam. they are not that expensive anymore. look @ trust.com
get a second hand axis 2100, and use a program called ACE, Axis camera explorer, we have 7 cameras and a 4 port server here and i check them all the time on my XDA, over WiFi and GPRS
John
yep , BEST solution ! gr8 app for pda and best network cams
Windows Media encoder
I have been using my £7 web cam from Ebuyer and a copy of windows media encoder.
I set the media encoder to use the web cam for video, my soundblaster Audigy with Mic plugged in for sound and then set to broadcast at the best quality it can.
I have been watching my house from next door using my Wifi router and windows media player on my MDA compact.
This is pretty cool, lags about 2 seconds behind the real action.
The good thing is that it broadcasts over the net without set up, you just click the find empty port button and your away!
All my mates have been well impressed, when I get home Im going to try to set up VPN at home, go to my mates house and use my MDA compact through his wifi to connect via the t'intawob.
If its possible I'll post my findings! I cant see why not.
View Commander for pocket PC
I run a Panasonic BB-HCM331 IP camera.
To connect I have attached to a Wireless client device via the ethernet port.
Allocate one of your public IP addresses to the camera this will keep it off your network. Then input this ip address into View Commander and Hey Ho you have a transportable wireless IP cam. Great for watching your garden in the Pub.
Demo available at www.cccamera.co.uk.
Bonus this is Pan Tilt and Zoom. Even works over GPRS
Cheers

Hi
Has anyone managed to get streaming video from the Linksys WVC54G wireless internet camera on the XDA Exec?
I have been trying for ages and just tried Ivi View Commander but there is not an option for Linksys.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has managed it
TIA
George
video
I have the same camera and have had no luck finding a program to see the live video, except for a roundabout method. If you use logmein.com remote computer access, you can see your own desktop and view the video by running the linksys viewer and recorder. It works quite well. Gotomypc does not work but logmein.com is cheaper and seems to be a better system.

Where is the problem
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
view video
Yes, it works very well. However, how do you connect when you are not next to your desktop or wireless network? logmein.com is the only way I have found to view your live video. The camera will send me emails as .asf files to my universal when I am connected to the 3g network, and those videos can be viewed with tcpmp player. It took me many days to get the email sending to work as linksys did not provide the correct drivers. They sent me a beta driver that finally works as it should.
No problem
i have a dyndns account, and chose a alternate port in the linksys cam.
then i told my router to link this port to the ip of the cam and so it works from everywhere ;-)
in TCMP i choose : http://my.dyndns.accout:port/img/video.asf
have fun
RAVE
Rave:
That is excellant!
Full screen as well...
I have also used a different port and had put that in as you show so I knew that was working, but wondered about about the username and password, somehow being included in the url, any ideas?
But hey it works, thanks!
May I ask who you have your dyndns a/c with?
Chetccox:
Any chance you can post the file or tell me who/where I can get it from, I am waiting for Linksys to come back to me...
It does work over 3G (just tried it) as long as you have the IP address
Best wishes
George
I have wireless IP cameras (LinkSys) in my house to keep an eye on things when I'm not home. I can view the cameras from any laptop/PC through a linkSys internet site. However, I can't see the camera video from my HTC TyTn when viewing the website. This may be because PIE doesn't support ActivX? Are there any browers or software available that will let me view the camera video from my TyTn? Thanks.

I doubt this is exactly what you are looking for but rather a fall back solution if all else fails.
Use logmein to view your home PCs screen. Would require the PC to be left on though screen could be off. Not sure whether video would be very smooth/lag free. Since it's all free I guess you could try it.
Like I say, not ideal.

Try using Netfront to view it--works for me.
if you have an old pc at home and want to play linux, www.zoneminder.com is an open source cctv application that works brilliantly. works with video capture cards and also many ip cameras. the is a "live cd" available to download via a torrent that will let you test it if you like without installing. the same cd can also then install a full linux system on the pc for you. the learning curve is a little steep (mainly getting head round linux). But there is great help available on their forums. it will motion detect etc, also includes a webserver. So just get a free dns from dyndns.org and you are away. currently it cannot stream to phones. it sends jpegs etc. There is also an xtml interface for standard phones.
Honestly is worth a look, its also very stable!
Thanks, all, for your help. I'll check these out.
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

Is iDisplay workin' on stock OS 1.1? and the iDisplay server is installed on Win7 64bit system. Reply with results.
"Sidd
[REQ] App-Dev.
My PC's display isnt workin' properly I'l have to replace my PC's display till then I was hopin to get iDisplay work so that I'l be able to view my screen on NC but unfortunately it isnt workin'.
Secondly I've tried remote desktops including Teamviewer, PhoneMyPC etc.
The trouble with Teamviewer is tht I'm not able to view the WHOLE screen at a time. Rest the UI of Teamviewer is great.
And if i talk of PhoneMyPC it is workin' fine too but the problem is that I'm not able to view my mouse pointer so it is little inconvenient.
If anyone is looking into app development it is a good idea to look into these things
More-over it'd be much helpful if the app uses Local Network rather than lookin' for internet access i.e. the client should connect the server with WiFi or USB will be a good idea?
And lastly yes anyone will point out at VNC then I'm having some issues with connecting to VNC as I'm using a router and a DSL modem in series so VNC server isnt setting up correctly.
Lastly Hit thanks if anyone thinks this kind of app will be really helpful
you might want to check out wyse pocket cloud there are two versions and the free on works great the paid adds support for sound and some other options both are great and setup is super easy install the server program on the pc then it will link with your gmail and auto discover on the android device .
