[APP] LiveCam - Watch the image from your pda's camera in a Web browser

Hello, this is my another release (though you may not remember previous ones).
My little app is called LiveCam and it allows you to watch what your phone's (rear) camera sees. Currently still images are taken every 5 seconds, and you can only see still images in browser but in future I'ma make it able to transfer real-time video! The app is totally uncustomizable for now because I only wanted to make it work. It contains whole lot of bugs. The app consists of 2 parts joined in 1 executable:
- a camera server that takes picture every 5 second
- a small HTTP server that allows you to see the most current image.
App could be possible only thanks to Alex Mogurenko's DirectShow .NET CF
How-to:
- Copy LiveCam.exe and DirectShow.NETCF.DLL to one folder wherever on your device.
- Ensure you have at least 400kB free space on your device root folder.
- Check your device name in Start > Settings > System > About. E.g. mine is HTC52, some may be Pocket_PC or alike. You may change it for more friendly for you or easier to remember if you want but do it now.
- Connect your phone to WiFi or ActiveSync/WMDC. Wait until the connection is established.
- Run LiveCam.exe. Click "Enable Cam" button (don't worry there's still a camera disabled text, if you see picture from your camera then everything's allright). Click "Enable HTTP" button (same here, don't worry of the HTTP disabled text).
- Run your PC's web browser and point to http://your_device_name:1222/
e.g. http://HTC52:1222/ Should be working.
- If you want to use it via data connection you must first activate it, however it won't work if you don't have external IP service.
- If you want to access it from an Internet computer (not in your subnet), please redirect 1222 port on your WiFi router, check your Pocket PC's IP.
Tested only on HTC KAISER. May not work on other devices. Please report.
Note this is a pre-pre-pre-alpha-release and it has maybe 10% of the functionality I want it to have.
Known bugs/limitations:
- Only 240x320 available res (will be fixed)
- Only still images, no video (5 seconds)
- No auto-refresh in web server must refresh manually to see current image (will be fixed easily)
- No customizable HTML page (will be fixed easily)
- No customizable HTTP port (will be fixed easily)
- No way of turning Flashlight (should be fixed)
- May hang up or eat memory as I didn't try it for longer time. Please always use the Give up button to exit app so that resources are believed to be released then.
If you like the app, I will make it really usable in next version but I must know that I don't work just for myself.
.NET CF 2.0 IS REQUIRED!

It works on my Blackstone(Touch HD)
It crashes when you click on init server multiple times and it doesn't show that it's running but you can access it through the browser.
I'd really like to have a webcam app that really works because other software I tried always had bugs or didn't work at all.

wonderful idea.. and it works great! (touch hd as well)

U dont work just for yourself, keep it going bro
Edit: Touch HD - working! Qtek 9100 - not working!

TyTN Stock
Frakken Awesome!
Works on my unbranded stock Kaiser. Keep up the good work!

its great for my htc touch hd .... owesome and it would be bloody owesome if it would be motion i mean video

Works on blackstone wm6.5 via web ^^
but config screen doesn't update to "enabled", even if server and cam are enabled. just says "disabled" but works. keep up your pretty idea. looking forward to new versions.
some feature-wishes:
- option to turn off the display during stream
- password lockable web interface, so you can only watch the camera if you have the password (htaccess)
- auto refresh in browser and choise between photo and video
- autosave video to sd
- option to switch between main and front camera
- portrait/landscape switch
- ... ^^ sry

where do I enter the address ? is it under LAN settings in IE ?

Thanks!
It works on my old Dopod 818 pro

hi, welcome back video should be possible, it is no bug that after clicking 'initialize' nothing changes, the app was written very fast and therefore not fully implemented. But if I happen to find some time, I may make it better. But no promises Thank you very much for feedback, I thought no one except me could find use for this.

This ideal is good if video streaming is included.

Hello guys,
VIO is a free Windows Mobile Application based on motion detection
How does it work ?
--------------------------------------
VIO uses the phone's camera to capture and detect any motion.
Motion will be detected by comparing the actual picture with one reference picture that will be automatically refreshed (settings allow you to specify when it must be refreshed)
Two ways of comparison are available :
- Squares
Easy way and really fast ; the picture will be cut to squares, you just need to specify square's width + squares sensibility + minimum squares needed to trigger an alert
- Edges
More accurate but slower ; the difference between actual picture and reference picture will give us some zones, these zones will be extracted one by one, if one contains the minimum pixels needed you set then it will trigger an alert.
When motion is detected VIO will :
- save picture as .jpg
- send mails containing pictures to the email address you defined.
- send sms to alert you anywhere
More descriptions (V1 infos, i didn't updated about V2 now) here :
http://vio-detection.com/index.php?page=vio
Versions
----------------------
V2
==
- Edges detection
- Dead zones
- New menu

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use it as you wish, Enjoy

how this works ..can u put across more stuff...
tashan

There it is
I didn't give a lot of explications but it's better to try by yourselves.

Tried on HD2, but it does not capture anything. Should I be able to see the camera or?

You're the second one to tell me that it doesn't works on HD2, actually i don't have any clue.
Can you tell me what camera's resolutions are available plz ?
Plus if you find a file like "VIO-Errors.log" in your root can you plz tell me the content ?
Thanks

I will give i a try, because i will test all apps that's support the cam.
But one question i have now:
Which camera is used in this case (back or front)?
Report:
Tested on my phone (signature), but the app will not startup.
I see the cursor animation but nothing happens. Softreset was done.

Hey
No error log The camera solutions - well I dont know but its 5MP...
I will try to run all the solutions in VIO. BUT - should I be able to SEE the camera caoture?

Yep there must be a live preview, don't waist your time by searching if any other parameters will fix it, if you already don't have any preview then it will not works.
I f i got free time maybe i will try to find what the problem is.
Thanks

Thanks for the share. VIO works as specified with no errors on HTC Touch (cdma).

WRITE WITH BIG RED LETERS IN YOUR POST THAT THIS APP VIO CAN TOTALY MESS YOUR DEVICE AND ONLY HARD RESET WILL HELP YOU!!!​
Im very pissed my phone was super costumized and etc.. after i install VITO cab and restart... ONLY Blank Screen the Phone even don`t wana START so only Volume Key Down + Volume Key Up + Power Button HELP me!!!

Any app under development can cause problems. It's all use at your own risk otherwise you'd be buying it off an app store. Hopefully you backed up your phone extensively and can restore it.

Works perfectly on my Mogul. Awesome!

In my HTC HD2 log file, show something about cannot find Pinvoke on Native.dll

Works fine on my Diamond but only after installing it to the main mem. Doesn't like being installed to internal storage.
Thanks!!
Major

Theoretically couldnt this app be used to emulate an accelerometre on devices that lack the hardware, or am I completely wrong?

I did enjoy the app. for few days, it was working very nice, till by mistake i did uninstall it, when i did try to reinstall it again, it gives me blank screen, camera would not start, nothing comes on the screen, i did uninstall and install several times but still the same thing, any idea why and how to fix it.

Hi, it's probably linked to the file "\Program Files\VIO\settings.conf", please try to delete it and start the app.
To Uppy => yep it can be done somehow but it's really hard to make something reliable for some reasons :
- how do the phone know his start position
- only slow motions can make it works because of the slow fps
- etc..

I see, still an interesting idea, even if it's not practical.
Great app, none the less

Great app with much potential, thank you.

I think this is a great app. But there is one thing I am missing why not send the email through wifi. In that case you can put your phone any where in the reach of your network. (great for spare phones)

[Q] ICS Voice Actions apk

I have jb via cm10 and the smoothness is awesome....except with voice actions.
Basically I hate Google Now. I find it completely useless. When it posts sports scores it does so hours or days after the game rather than immediately. (It seems to have to poll the server rather than have them pushed like a dedicated app like ESPN.) Traffic always shows the wrong routes at the wrong time. Basically the thing never worked and after about a month I gave up training the thing and just shut it off.
Unfortunately Voice Actions still seems to be connected to Now and it's a lot less efficient than it used to be. First off, it takes FOREVER for it to start listening for a command, and sometimes it's listening when it says it isn't or vice versa, so it's a real mess. If I want to call a local business and actually manage to get it to recognize the command, it brings up a map with matches for my business search. I then have to tap the business which opens the place page in another app (Maps) at which point I can FINALLY push the call button. Before Now, I could just say "call jimmy johns" confirm it had the right store and hit the dial button, or wait seven seconds and it would dial automatically for me. No maps app necessary. Way too convoluted now.
Hence my question...
Does anyone have a copy of the ICS Voice Actions apk that I could install on top of jb? I know you could replace the ICS search apk with google now; I want to go in the other direction.
Thanks for any thoughts/help!

I would also like this!!

If anyone is interested... I installed the Voice Actions APK 2.1.4 from Gingerbread on my Jelly Bean device and it works even better than Google Now at detecting my inputs....
You can find the APK by searching for this exactly...
"com.google.android.voicesearch-214.apk" or downloading it below.
You must be ROOTED.
1) I move this apk as is to \system\app using EZ File Explorer.
2) I change the permissions to rw-r-r using the Properties menu while the APK is selected.
3) I tap the APK file and proceed with installing the APK. (Make sure unknown sources is checked in your settings)
If it is resistant to install, check the permissions again and check your applications to see if Voice Search with the old white logo is present. If it is not, reset your device. It should either show up after the reset or allow you to install. If you have programs, post them here.
Here is the proof

Jaxbot's Native Notification Center for Windows Phone 7.8

Weird thing i found is how invisible this release from WPH is.
The Notification Center, the dream of every Windows Phone is forgotten !
I tested the app on my own phone... it doesn't work. OK, but still i found absolutely no thread about this Xap, i think it could be developped if known better (jaxbot has retired from the WP7 scene i think, so i guess he won't do it. We can be grateful for this very good start)

Here is his the presentation of the app found i here
There's been more opposition for this project than with... well, I tried to come up with a good joke, but let's cut to the chase.
I've decided to release a rewrite I made of Notifications. It only works on full unlocked devices. Here's the details:
This app caches the push notifications sent to your phone. So if someone mentions you on Twitter, and you miss the toast, it will appear in Notifications.
This app does not cache non-push messages, such as texts, emails, calls, etc.
Complete rewrite; it works differently than the original Notifications app. No PC tether, no external servers, etc.
The NC service runs on the device. This is why you need your device to be full unlocked.
I'll repeat that. It must be full unlocked, meaning you must be able to run EXE programs on it.
The setup is simple. Download and install it to your device. Run the app, and it should take you to the setup page. Press install, then agree to the disclaimer. It will prompt you to reboot. Do so, and with any luck, it'll work.
I'm releasing it without support. Notifications works for some people, doesn't for others. The problem is likely to do with full unlocking. If you have a custom ROM that is fully unlocked, it should work. As for EXE unlocking rooted devices, it may be hit or miss. We'll see on that.
The source is available on Github. Download the XAP here: ncroot1.xap. If you didn't read anything else: You need a policy unlocked or full unlocked device. If your device is not full unlocked, read the instructions appended below.
Also, if you want to test if it works, install SimplePush. It'll send a quick toast to your device.
Other than that, enjoy. I'm curious to see what the feedback is, and whether or not it works in certain scenarios. I don't know what the demand is to keep working on it, but here it is, and with that, enjoy.
Update: Should now work on interop-unlocked devices, provided you use WP7 Root Tools. To do this, install the XAP, mark it as "Trusted", run Notifications, click Install, and reboot your phone. Presto. Do give feedback on whether or not this works.

It's just a http server written using .Net (not silverlight), that listens for every push notification. But I really don't know what we can develop in this application. Any idea?

well personnaly i don't like the idea to have notification push making my phone ring every minuts (if i'm active on facebook or twitter).
So i use snotify to silence the notifications. This app would be ideal to tell me what did i miss on what app.
That's an exemple for one use, but i'm sure there is many others.
Actualy for twitter, my dream would be an app that puts in cache every tweets i missed (or the number of tweet i missed, even if i'm not mentionned, or every tweet from some selected profiles) so i would know if its worth opening the app or no (instead of checkin every 10 mins if there's something interesting) but we're maybe out of subject !

Any idear why it wouldn't work on my device btw ? I am full unlocked (septvies's devbuild_8862 1.5) on samsung Omnia 7

Question Video Fainting while playing on the device

Hi, well I was new here so I was thinking of starting with one problem at a time but,
Whenever I try to play a video, like from all platforms (Prime Video, Youtube, video players like VLC, websites, etc....), the normal color of the video is hindered like there appears to be some kind of a fainting screen overlapping the video reducing the color and playback experience.
And the main thing is this seems to go away when we press the Volume rocker button and until the volume bar appears on the screen the natural colors of the video appear but as soon as it disappears, it goes back to the hindered color version.
It seems like a film is pasted over the screen area and as soon as you press the volume rocker, it is removed!
I have tried formatting and also deleting specific apps used for playing videos and reinstalling them, but of no avail.
Could someone maybe help me out?

Idk if it will work but I would suggest to turn of all options in menu called "Dark Mode options"
Maybe it will help

Hi there!
I changed my motherboard due to another issue with networks but the video issue still remains!
Now the service center guys are saying that it is a feature in the device but what kind of a feature it is if it doesn't let us use the amoled screen with the original colors and darkness!
Well currently don't know any solution have suggested to feedback app in miui but no updates of the same!
If you have got any solution please do tell!
