Windows mobile, seriously, people still use windows mobile? Next you'll tell me people still use Palm phones. That's so last century.

i want something I can use to watch my cameras live from my Blackberry Storm.

Last century huh? Here's the win mobile stuff I was running last century

http://40th.com/last_century/bench20.html

The device on the top is the one that started it all. Not quite last century, but June 2000. $499 but to actually have one cost you $600. At the time, we thought it as a bargain.

This is a more contemporary WinMobile that many like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_HD2

with further links inside if you want to get a bit more informed, like this specs page

http://www.hellkom.co.za/smartphones/82/HTC-HD2-Smartphone/

Hardly seems last century, but coming from a guy that can't stop buying stuff from China, and continually complaining all the while about that, and China itself, ... hm, I don't see the connection. Anyway, consider it an observation. Get's old. Put it in your sig if you want to keep THAT going.

Back to the question, what about Blackberry's what? haha

I agree with 40th Floor, WM is way to go..
A big fan of HTC phones, I am on my 4th HTC phone, prefer phone that have sliding keyboard (touch screen keyboards are impracticable) .. Great hardware, and thanks to website like www.xda-developers.com you can get a lot of good stuff for these phones.. Even do TMC on I-GO gps... what more can you ask for..

Have purchased from Microsoft Market Place and installed Netcam2 on my HTC Touch Pro 2 but am having problems getting it to work.

My Panasonic BL-C131 is accessed through http://viewnetcam.com

I've entered the url that works fine in a browser, edited the netcam2_cfg file to set my user and password.

However when trying to view the camera I get a Camera01 access error 120 (0x78) error.

I can view the camera ok using a app called Camplayer by Preston systems but on the TouchPro2 the camera window is very small - but at least it shows the camera, url etc is working ok.

Any idea what I can check or try to get it Netcam2 working.

Thanks - that's got it working.

How do I make the camera window fill the screen in landscape mode

Fill the screen as in no top and bottom bars, or fill the screen like the first two pictures at the top of this show? The bars are always there. An update may see a full, fullscreen. If you don't see something similar to the top two pics, what do you see?

If you need to see MORE - make that BIGGER -, take a look at the viewport settings. You can zoom areas with that, and with 16 camera slots available, you can set a differrent slot to have a different view of the camera. For example, to zoom the top left quarter, set

SzMode to %
wide to 50
high to 50

AtMode to %
left to 0
top to 0

To view the right, top quarter, use the same except for left. Set left to 50. Use a different camera slot for each of these, changing the viewport for them (each using the same camera info). Set the cycle to say, 1.5 seconds, and it cylces to each view every second or two. That gets you a zoom like effect.


If you want to pan, set up at least two presets using a browser and the normal Panasonic access browser thing. Call the presets left and right, as preset positions 1 and 2. Add the following c:/s: pairs to the bottom of netcam2_cams.txt (on the device, in folder Program Files/40th/netcam2_mp/) -- the c: and s: are each one line, wrapped here (the pic) by Word Mobile.

c:panLeft
s:/nphControlCamera?Direction=Preset&PresetOperation=Move&Data=1

c:panRight
s:/nphControlCamera?Direction=Preset&PresetOperation=Move&Data=2

(To return home use ... nphControlCamera?Direction=HomePosition)

First make sure to exit NC2 (Menu, Exit..., Exit now). It may be easier to do the editing on the desktop if you know how to copy a file back and forth, otherwise, you're stuck with editing in Word Mobile. If you use WM be sure to watch the "fixing" of characters. Much simpler to copy to/from and edit on the desktop.

You can select those "cameras" like any other camera (from the Cameras menu) to pan to preset 1 and preset 2 (I call them left and right here). Set up the slot like any other camera. I suggest a FPS of 0.2; leave cycle blank.

If you need more camera slots, edit netcam2_cfg.txt. Change

# max. cams: 6 (range 4 to 16)

to 15 or however many you need (16 is the supposed upper limit but 15 is the real max.).

and save. As the on-device help docs say, to save correctly in Word Mobile, after editing select (OK), then NO at the prompt, "...Do you want to save as a word file instead?" Restart NC2. Pick either of the pan camera slots to do the pan. It may take a second or more to pan. Once panned, switch to the regular Pana camera slot.

I did the above on a BL-C111A and it worked. Typos will make it not work.

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 and 2 Wireless ip cams:

1) Cisco WVC210 Wireless IP Camera with PTZ
2) Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless IP cam

Can your software be used with these two Cisco/linksys Cameras ?

How can I try it first before buying ?

The only linksys I see in there is a 2300. From what I remember the linksys 54 camera is not like a normal network camera.

The 2300 (the only already built-in) uses

/image/shapshot.cgi? ...

as do several other cameras.

If "the camera" has a single-shot snapshot cgi, producing a standard jpeg, and uses (when required) a standard authentication protocol, one can always add the snapshot URI to the cams file, for that camera, and now that camera is "built-in".

That's all there is to it. The instructions are included on how to add a camera.

As far as I know, Linksys 54 cam is same as Cisco 210 cam .

I can control both cams with single Cisco or Linksys camera monitor software on my pc.

They even use the same http address to stream live to internet, the only thing missing on the Linksys 54 is the PTZ .

Now I would like to try and find out if your software work with my cams. Since you don't have a TRIAL version, how can I test one ?
