hi
I spent allot of time searching the net for a wireless camera (for security purposes) that has the ability to transfer live video to my Qtek2020i which is wireless enabled.
I am not looking for an IP cam, I dont want to view the video by connecting to GPRS, I want my pocket pc to find the camera as a wireless access point and using some software I want to see the video from that camera, is there anything like that?
all of the wireless cameras I found has a reciever device to connect to TV or VCR and this is not what I want, and the others has the capability to send the video to internet and by accessing the site from the PDA you can see the video, this is also unwanted for me.
so please tell me if there is such a cam and how to buy it and how much, I really need such a product for controlling my office while I am moving in the building, my job includes moving allot to different offices, so I need to check if anyone mess around in my office during my absence directly. i dont want to record then watch, I need something live !
thanks

"Eye-Fi" is a new SD-card wireless adapter designed to provide wi-fi connectivity to digital cameras. It's also a 2GB SD memory card. How cool would it be if this could serve as a wireless adapter for the I-mate Jam/HTC Magician? Anybody think it could be made to work?

I think this has too much built-in intelligence to work. It basically has its own embedded computer and operating system.
I've already contacted the eye-fi, they said that it is not compatible with any Pocket PC devices. Too bad. :-(
that does sound nice
Some wlan cards

just search for "sd wlan" and you find thousand of cards
What would be much more interesting would be to get eye-fi working in a camera and sending pics to your pda. Unfortunately eye-fi doesn't support adhoc. (so ICS on PC or wmwifirouter etc. on PDA won't work) There is a recent hack for xp using python that replaces the "eye-fi manager" so that you can bypass their setup. This doesn't give it adhoc just more functionality and privacy. With pythonCE can we do this on a pda?
http://tinyurl.com/bgnn56
btw. if you just want to get the pics uploaded from eye-fi in your pda, create a nested folder: DCIM\x in the root of the eye-fi card and put your pics there. no spaces in names, only .JPGs,
This was with the 2GB explore card, the newer video versions allow more file formats.
Its Sound Nice to me .... i wanna buy it ....
The new Eye-fi Pro 4gb cards are faster, handle raw format, and allow an adhoc connection. Cost more too, about $150
I still have an "Eye-fi Explore 2gb" and I really like it, but it doesn't do adhoc, only infrastructure. To add new wifi networks to the card you need to plug the card into an SD card reader in a usb port of a PC running the eyefi manager software. This means you need to plan ahead if going out with only the camera and not your PC. Captive portals won't work either, as there's no interaction between card and hotspot other than SSID/password. I have mine configured with about a dozen known SSIDs as well as alot of router default name/password combinations. Also, it comes with a year long subscription to the AT&T/Wayport network (mcdonalds, starbucks, etc)
It does a reasonably good job (in urban areas) of geotagging by looking at SSIDs in the area when a pic is taken ("fake GPS" similar to Loki or Google Latitude) This is with any SSIDs, not just configured ones... when the pic is taken it tags it with SSIDs it sees, and if it can't upload then, it will later upload with that data and consult the database to attempt to locate where the shot was taken.
I've got an old point and shoot Canon running CHDK. I can turn on the intervalometer or motion-detect setting, set the camera down somewhere, and if it's in a wifi hotspot that the card is configured to, I'll see the resulting pics on any internet connection by going to picasa or flickr, etc. Not exactly a streaming motion detect spy camera but it's fun.

There are many phones with cameras, several with WiFi. You can plug a camera into your laptop via firewire and do a webcast. What would it take to get the camera in the phone to communicate with a laptop wirelessly and have the laptop publish a webcast of the video stream..... All the pieces are there but I don't think anybody has put it together. Why do I ask?? Wedding in November, 90 year old grandfather who can't be there. It would be a hoot to point my camera and have him share in what's going on, real time. Any ideas would be appreciated.
There already is a software called webcamera plus by Ateksoft (google it) that turns your phone into a webcam. It works as long as the phone is connected to the PC via activesync (cable, bluetooth), wifi, or by 3G/GPRS. The only downside is that it's not free. But there is a free trial availible so you might want to check it out.

First of all thank you guys for such a great apps environment you created for our lazy WM platform.
Second of all I hope I am posting my request in the right place. Could someone start developing an application similar in functions with AirVideo for iphone. Its a basic app with a server(PC) - client(device) side that allows you to play on the phone any video stored on the PC (and any other storage media connected to the PC) without having to actually transfer the video on the device itself.
For more info please check : http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
It would be amazing if someone could achieve this. I would gladlly pay for such an app as I oftenly like to review my video courses I have stored on my PC from the convenience of my phone.
PS: I gave up the iphone platform 6 months ago and I am so much happier with my HD2.

Try orb. i use it on my HD2 and it works great. There's no need for a client app either! Just a browser (built in IE will do).
10x for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this software.
Does it provide access to my content through my wireless router (under a local connection - PC and phone using the same WIFI) or do I have to stream everything through my broadband and their online servers?
All you need for airvideo is that the phone and the pc are connected to the same WIFI. All the streaming is done using the local connection which is good for privacy and there is also the option to convert a video file on the fly.
This sort of functionality I would like on the windows mobile platform if a developer would like to give it a go.

Orb basically turns your PC into a media server. You just use whatever means you want to connect to your PC. I have a use one of those services that gives your PC a name, and I just connect to it via that, so I can do it via my internet connection if I want to, or connect via wifi and use the local IP address (192.168.x.x) to connect that way, but I don't tend to do that much, as I'm obviously in range of my PC if I'm in range of the router
Orb gives you access to specified folders on your PC, and all the media within them. It does images, video and music, so it really is a great addition to any device.
I am new to Android & would really like to us my A7 to access both online hosted Streaming Video (movies & TV shows) as well as host my DVDs on my internal network.
I had hoped to use Netflix but research on the web indicates that isn't a go on Android without newer, possibly embedded hardward based, DRM solutions. I did see a post about Amazon and RockPlayer but not really much else to go on.
Can people reply and indicate what are the best Streaming Video sites (& client being used to access those sites) for the A7? If you need to use one for movies & one for TV shows please list multiple...
Can people also reply with more insight on how they are hosting & consuming their own DVD collections? Specifically I would like to know:
What did they use to rip their DVDs?
Where do they host them (off a PC? a NAS?, etc)?
What client do they use on the Android A7 to access them?
What protocol (NFS?,CIFS?,SFTP?,etc) does the A7 use to access their DVDs?
For reference I have multiple options available to me at home inclucing RedHat Enterprise Linux & a few other flavors, Win 7, Win XP, and a central NAS device.
tv shows
for tv shows I like (tv shows stream) from the market
Playon seems to work well for me and it will let you stream Netflix and other sites kinda expensive 5amonth or 80 for a lifetime.

When I get back from Spring Break I want to try Playon. I don't like the idea of another subscription but it seems really flexible. It might also allow me to watch Hulu through my bluray player (which stopped supporting it) so that is a big plus... Being able to centralize all of that to a central computer and shoot it to my TV, laptop, and Android A7 would be great.
The Netflix.apk is available as beta for Android. I installed on my A7 and can manage my account, queue and search. When I launch a live stream of instant movies it says can not connect to Netflix servers please try again.
My research is that they won't allow netflix to natively run on Android without some Digital Rights Management (DRM) capabilities (currently too open) built into. Some Android device makers may be releasing some newer models that allow for this and the native netflix should work for them but maybe never for us if it is a hardware based implementation...
That being said, the Netflix over playon seems to be working OK for me as I went ahead and set it up before traveling for Spring Break... Both Netfilx & hulu worked fine on my home LAN and was working OK on my hotel WIFI for a few hours but isn't for some reason right now.
I need to replace my home router so that I can take the current router with me as it turns my 3g/4g USB device into a personal portable WiFi (kinda like a geeky MIFI). Currently that router uses both my DSL & USB cellular data card together at home and I didn't have time to do that before I left and if I took it with me my home would have been down and I wouldn't be able to serve playon from home while traveling...
Tv.com also works well on these devices

The DBPower 720p Wireless IP Cam is the first actual IP camera that I have owned. While I have used others, I have never owned one. When looking through different products, I came across this item because of its two way audio. This was a large factor in my purchase because I have a child on the way and I figured that this would be better than a traditional baby monitor. The following is my impression of the device.
Setup:
It took me a while to setup this camera because of the convoluted setup instructions. I had to reset the device multiple times to get it to register with my network. This is probably due to my impatience. Once I let the device sit and the app do its thing, it finally registered and that was all that was needed to get it setup. Though the setup was not terrible, I don't like the actual software that is recommended for the camera. Instead, I downloaded an ONVIF application and pointed it towards the device's IP (which I found in my routers database of connected devices). The IP camera uses port 5000 for ONVIF administration.
Use:
To test out the camera, I put it in both a well lit area and a completely black area. The camera did well in both situations. I did not know that there was an infrared light on the camera but realized it when staring at myself on my phones screen in the dark. I also tested the device with an ethernet cable attached. Do note that though the ethernet adapter uses a microUSB male connector on one side, it CANNOT be used on a phone with OTG. This is because it is literally just a pin adapter, as can be seen by the pictures included in my review.
Final thoughts:
The device met all my expectations, but I dislike the application that is supposed to be used with it. After sniffing the traffic using WireShark, I determined that the real app that the camera's firmware is designed for is "2Cu" but any ONVIF application should be able to be used after the initial setup. ONVIF manager for Windows works too.
Testing Method:
To understand how the camera operates, I connected it through ethernet to to internet connected laptop and used WireShark to sniff the data to and from the device. It doesn't seem like there is an actual video stream coming from the device, but rather a bunch of pictures. The only thing that I did find was that the stream is an RTSP stream and can be viewed at rtsp://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@[IP OF DEVICE]:554/onvif1 (Your username is the numerical code on the device, and the password is 123 by default but can be changed in the cameras default application.)
Pros:
Good video quality
Good viewing angle
Fast live video stream
Decent 2 way audio quality
Good Night vision
Small form factor
Mounting kit included
Plethora of apps available for use (ONVIF)
Cons:
The software that must be installed to setup the camera.
Here is a link to the camera and a 20% off coupon code for it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B014IS11NY Code: 2V74UHML

I don't believe you can, but there are other models by the same company that allow you to move the camera inside the app. This one must be manually turned.
