Searched around a bit and tried countless peices of webcam software but haven't found anything quite like what I would like yet.
I have a microsoft webcam hooked to my pc. I would like to run some webcam software on my pc that makes a streaming video file that I can open from my 8525 streaming video player.
If I could stream this video file from my PC to my linux webserver and then connect to my linux webserver from a webpage or from my 8525 to stream the video that would be even better.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I use this... Trackercam. I'm able to use any browser and view the webcam at home... haven't tested it on a ppc browser but theoretically it should work as long as you have a decent connection.

Oh, and it's FREE.
There's a program called dorgem (http://dorgem.sf.net I think) that runs a webcam (so it might not be exactly what you wanted, but it might be less hassel). It doesn't exactly do streaming video, but it can upload an image via ftp or HTTP POST and refresh every few seconds if required. It can also run a local HTTP Daemon which allows you to access the image on request (using PHP or similar).
Also free, but doesn't include the base control stuff that TrackerCam's software does (although you could consider that a good thing).
look for WebCamPlus .. www.ateksoft.com
Orb does the job, leave it running on your PC and with Version 2.0 you can view webcams hooked up to the PC.

Hi,
I have a requirement to stream video from one camera on a pocketpc to another pocket pc connected via wireless network.
My main problem is where to start. I have looked at CameraCaptureDialog class but i dont think it can do what i need, unless i am mistaken.
I have looked at the following link
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/PocketStreamer.aspx
but that streams existing files from a PC. I want to be able to send a live camera feed from one Pocket PC to another.
Any ideas???
TIA.
Hello all,
I have a small computer store and I have connected 2 TrendNet IP cameras to my network to monitor my store and record all activity with their sowftware. Also them being an IP cams any computer in network can open their IP addresses and watch what is happening in the store over Internet Explorer or other browsers on a PC ...
Is there some program for my HTC Touch HD to monitor those cams? Or am i missing something I need to install to be able to see through Internet Explorer or Opera on my HTC Phone. In my previous phone (HTC TyTn) i could only see still image from camera, but not video. Blackstone won't even show still image.
Both cameras support MS ActiveX and one camera can also show video through java, video is coded in MPEG4 format.
Thanks in advance...
I would like to know a solution to this as well. I have the Panasonic netcams and have the same problem. My wife has the iphone and can view movement on the cams full screen via safari.
interesting....

have you tried "my orb" http://www.orb.com/
Try to find out direct url to the mpeg4-stream, then just open windows media player, go library, menu -> open URL
If u manage to play the mpeg4-stream with ur computer, click over the video windows -> properties, there u should see the url from where windows media player is playing the stream. The url could be something "rtsp://..." or "mms://..."

could you not use the remote desktop client on the HD to view them?
Orb works great here already a vieuw years now. it's free,and you can also listen to music from your pc throug internet on your hd and/or watch movie's stored on you computerand watch them throug internet on your hd.

Webcamxp:
webcamXP Mobile HD v2.1.3
This new version has been particulary optimized for HTC Touch HD.
Try Yawcam
I had a little dabble with streaming a web cam to the internet and the best program I came across was a free program called YAWCAM (Yet Another Webcam Software!).
http://www.yawcam.com/
I haven't used it recently, but it is simple to use and I successfully streamed images of our home to my Orange SPV E650 (this too was an HTC smart phone, but rebranded for Orange in the UK).
I reckon on the HD the results should be pretty good. A the time I was using it for monitoring our newly installed cat flap (CATCAM!) to make sure both of our cats were actually using it (one still refuses to ) .
I think if you used this in conjunction with remote desktop, VNC or the like, you should then be able to control the camera too.
Hope this helps...
I own a couple of places... and use the AVTECH DVR's
16 cameras on each site..and it comes with an app.. eagleyes. It is for WM5/WM6..and have it running with no probs on all devices..from QVGA - WVGA.
only thing you may get is a weird name for each connection. otherwise..I can happily sit anywhere and still look at my public/staff

Like L4z3r said, I would check out this:

There is no need for a computer to be on and attached if the camera supports JPEG or MJPEG. It allows you to have one free IP camera so you can also test to make sure it works for you.
mmdirk, the app supports PTZ on Panasonic (for cameras that have PTZ capabilities), you can actually control the camera with the touch of a finger. Hope this works for you.
WebcamXP Mobile HD does the job
Hi, I'm using Webcam Mobile HD (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492081) with my IP camera Y-Cam Knight and it works like a treat. Best via 3G or WiFi but 1 pic every 10sec even via GPRS. The software also has full-screen and landscape modes to make use of the large display. Highly recommended!

I am able to watch it on pc ,but not on my hd2...
Hey,
Never really thought of this until now.
Basically, I have a router with 3 PC's and a TV connected to it. I can open Windows Media Player on the computers, enable streaming, and the TV can watch videos, play music and view pictures from the PC's.
Now I was wondering if the HD2 is capable of allowing the TV (or PC's) to connect to it so they can view/play the pictures/videos/music off it...
Its a long shot, and I dont have a clue how the app "Streaming Media" works. But as the HD2 has Windows Media...
Thanks
There is a post that answers this recently added. You need a program which handles DNLA which was pulled off of a Samsung and it works very well.
