Hi all,
I've been looking for software to stream live video from my WM6 device. I'd like to use my old Samsung i600 as a IP camera, if possible.
Who knows of any software to stream video from the i600 which can be viewed in a browser?
I think I used Qik some years ago, but I'm not able to find the right WM version of the QIK software.
I found TinyCam two post below, but it doesn't work well on " no touch screen" i600
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for this app too. Does anybody know something about turning i600 into a ip camera?

I used qik video to stream from windows mobile, but it's no longer supported or available. I think you may find an old cab online that works.
This?

bit of a bump to old post, but i use livecast, you can watch it live on webpage (private or public) and records video/sound. You can also have it save to SD card too if you don't have internet connection. It works well as a dash cam too, limited to quality of my touch pro 2's camera... IE can't read plate numbers

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 !

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.

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.

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)
Has anyone had any experience using this Video Player ?
VTAP is by far the best free option

Haha hm...sounds like a neutral party post ...
EDIT: Seems to work real good. Easy to find videos and such. Plus wikipedia
Just downloaded.
This is by far the best web video solution out.
it searches all kinds of sites not just youtube
my only gripe is it fullscreens upside down on hermes.
I like it! Thanks.
Videos work great, and the Wikipedia is real nice.

Was wondering that myself. A bit silly. I just went into the Start Menu folder and deleted one of them. I think the smaller of the two. Still works fine.
I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service.
1. We are looking into the issue with the 2 icons in the programs folder. In the mean time, if you want to remove the vtap(1) icon, I have posted a process to remove it at this link: http://www.vtap.com/faq.html#rq11 .
2. We are looking into the upside down video on the Hermes phone. This has been seen now on a couple of HTC phones. I will post back when we have a solution for that problem.
Hi,
I have an issue with Vtap, it won't connect to the server, why??
It says "Server is temporary unavailable, please click 'retry' to try again.
It keeps saying that over and over again when I'm at home using WiFi. Interestingly, when I go to a hotspot location, it would work.
I have tried to reconfigure my router to put my phone in the DMZ to open all ports but it still won't work?
What is going on?
Btw, I'm living in Singapore, if it matters.
I really like vtap. I think its an awesome app and it pretty easy to use. Of course with T-mo US only being able to offer edge it kind of kills the overall experience for me. But I tried this with a WiFi connection and it works perfect with a high speed data connection.
Must say I haven't checked the wiki or the faq, but it is a real nice videoplayer for youtube etc.
aalvino keep it up

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.
Can it work with any site with videos?
I'm connected and able to download.....however, I only get the audio playback......no video. Instead, I'm getting a green screen with a bizarre purple stripe design....This is on 3G...

Hey aalvino,
I'm using an 8525 (Hermes 100) w/vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM. Not sure about the DirectDraw support. I'd like to add that I'm having the same issue with my WiFi connection as well........good audio, but the psychedelic color video...would've been cool back in the '60s.......

The easiest way to install vTap is to just open the Browser on your phone, and go to the site www.vtap.com. You will then be prompted to download the correct .cab file and the installation should start automatically.
Would it be possible to use either the front facing or rear camera as a webcam in a program such as live messenger or skype on the touch hd?

You could search the forum too...
While it is interesting to be able to use the HD as a webcam on the PC. It would be more interesting to be able to use Skype webcam directly from the HD (in house).
This one claims to do video calls via IP directly from VideoPhones without going through your provider. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it supports Skype. http://www.octro.com/

Forget it! Part of the first is the well known "Cool Camera" prog 1.15. And Cool Camera doesn't work on the HD.
Also your second advice isn't running on the HD.

I think that's what the topic user is aiming at, using the front camera as a webcam in programs on the HD itself.
Would be kinda cool .
yeah sorry maybe i didn't make my question clear... I was wondering if you could have the camera working as a webcam purely on the phone. Videocalling over IP or sending video through windows live messenger for mobile.
did a search on the forums but nothing came up. i'm surprised and can't see why it's not been done. it's possible on desktop pcs so why not mobile devices?
is it too much data to send? i would have thought HSDPA would be fast enough.

Standard 3G can manage video phonecalls, which are essentially identical to net video calls. Maybe internet calls have a little extra overhead and need slightly more cunning programming to overcome the lack of a dedicated network, but otherwise it's the same thing.
As far as I understand HTC's strategy is one of supporting and working with the carriers. As the carriers want us (in Europe at least) to make high-priced, and therefore high margin, video calls via our cam equipped devices, HTC disabled the front cam for any internet chatting, or voip calls.

You asked for the software that provides a webcam interface to PC, not whether it's compatible with Touch HD. You can test yourself if you want.

BTW, at the moment i try to find a way to use a programm named "Kai´s mirror". But it goes slowly. Front cam goes at least... If i break through i will give a message.
Hi guys, I bought an HTC HD mini and I'm just discovering I cannot make video calls...
So I would ask 2 questions:
1.. is there a way to enable video calling on HTC or it does not support video call at all ??
2.. is there a way (some application or what else) enabling to video call a cellular over 3G/wifi ?
Thanks in advance....
Hm... how do you want to be seen in a video call when the cam is on the backside?
ok... that's right... but (of course) my goal is to see the other person...
My goal is to see my baby when I'm out for work
u can use a program which generates a web address,so you just go on that site from phone and see your baby
webcam xp does that if i'm not wrong.
Doubt it will ever be possible, but in theory a software app could be written for it.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Surfing on the web, I've just found this product: Comvu LiveCast (http://www.comvu.com/corporate/solutions-enterprise.html)
The idea is the same as for webcam xp but should work even on a phone (which makes the actual video) and does not require a pc/webcam to make the video.
Has anyone any info/feedback about it ?
Thanks
