I've tried 'Webcamera Plus' from Ateksoft to try out the security cam functionality and it seems to work quite well, not sure how good it is with MSN e.t.c, but there is a demo available.
http://www.ateksoft.com
There are a few threads here on it too.

thanks for the reply digital.diablo, but correct me if i am wrong, it appears that the webcam plus software transforms the camera function on ur phone (such as the htc x7500) into a webcam that can use for your PC, and not a webcam that can be used of the phone it self to have a live video conference.
is that right? if so, any other ideas?
thanx
Ahh, sorry, misunderstood what you were after. Yeah, Webcamplus is simply a way of using the onboard camera in your gadget as a webcam, so you could use it to video conference from your pc.
Not sure about your conferencing from the PDA though I'm afraid. Good luck on your quest!

thank you bilalperwaiz.
i'll think about it. i doubt my friends would be interested to install a new software just so i can use my video viewers. maybe there is a messenger service that connects to all messenger services and has the software support to video calls.
if anyone knows of such a software do share the info

Hi guys
do you know any program for Uiversal that enables the device to video chat with another pc. i have fount microsoft portrait , but it doesnt support universal webcam.
thanks.
no ways?
I'm also looking for that kind of application.
Anyone could help us?
Many thanks in advance!
Currently, there're no TCP/IP-based (that is, no UMTS-based "native") chatter apps.
I too would love to have this kind of app, it just brings the Universal to yet another level!. Ive tryed searching but found nothing. I hope someone finds something soon
SKYPE
Anyone tried SKYPE mobile? I hear it works on PDA's I think it has video also.
How about Microsoft Portrait... http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/
skype>>doesnt have video chat
portaite>>doesnt support universal camera
did you ever used cool camera software that get the ppc video to pc with active sync i think this is based on tcp/ip.we should use this http://www.ateksoft.com/ >>cool camera. plz test it and find that can we change the ip off the pc that configurated in this program.
well the new beta skype has live webcam, maybe a matter of time skype will release a new better beta skype with webcam
but it would be awsome
the new version of skype that has webcam its only for pc i think and its version 3 but i am not sure
That cam on the front was a damned waste.
Well not really, it was only ever put there for video calling, which some people apparently use somewhere.
Nearly everyone I know has a 3g phone, not one person uses video calling though,
skype mobile does not support video chat. Pointless to post information that you haven't verified or can confirm.
Odd, I've got the universal using the front camera on portrait today.
Make sure you use beta 3.0 and soft reset after installing it.

Sounds like some Bull**** Buddy. Nothing personal, but I've tried about 20 different possiblities, including changing the registry entry for the cam that portrait uses and it does not every work with the video call camera, only the main camera on the universal. Further research has shown that there are almost 30 other people who have made posts in various different forums about this very issue with different branded universals. It seems that with the current version its not possible. If you really did do this somehow, posting more useful information about what else you've installed or what you've tweaked may help someone reproduce it. As far as Im concerned however, this Myth is BUSTED.

Exactly, thank you for confirming. I've written ms portrait support to add support for the secondary universal camera, but alas, Im only one voice. I encourage you all to go to the site and ask them to add this feature.
Has anyone been able to use the 7500 to run a video conference. Not just a one on one call. But a true Video Conference.
Thanks,

If you're referring to the use of the Athena's camera over WiFi for a video conference i'm looking for a solution to this as well. Some software that accesses the camera and let's you do a peer to peer type of communication.
If you're referring to the Video call feature, I don't have 3G here so I haven't tested this feature.
Microsoft Portrait should be able to do that, but I haven't been able to get it working with the front facing camera, so it's a bit pointless at the moment

I tried portrait not ling after I got my Athena. It would only use the back camera and that was upside down! It would not offer the internal camera for selection.
Haven't tried under WM6 though!
Let me know if you have more luck!!

I tried it under WM5 also and it totally sucked. Wasn't worth the download. If you guys try it let me know. Way too slammed right now to play with the phone.
Is there any software or service or something like that with which i can view the webcam at home through my cellphone. i need i to work with the t-mo proxy, even images taken every couple secs would work.
Thanks in advance
I have some software at home that does this.. so if no one comes up w the answer by the time I get home, I'll post it.
Even a website or something that can be viewed as a stream by the wing would work.
Any1 know something like that ?
its UCee I think.
Hmm it says its suppose to work but i cant get it to work with my webcam, anyone tried this ?

thanks for ur help though =)
UCee offers exactly what im looking for but i cant get it 2 work.. =/
Ok you have a webcam running on a home PC and you want to be able to view that cam anytime from your wing right?
Run Active webcam PLUS at home and it has an option to run a webbased viewer.
http://www.pysoft.com/ActiveWebCamMainpage.htm
You will have to open your firewall maybe to get the webcam to go out and publish the page.

Your welcome.
I love the motion detection function. It will email you and let you know it has movement in your room... thats nice.
So i have the euro Diamond with the front face cam and im in the US...since we cant really use the front face cam for video calls...i wanted to know if there is a app out there (or in dev) that would allow me to use the cam for video calls over WiFi with people who are on AIM, MSN, or iChat, or any other chat service/app...
Yeah if the Skype client would do this then it'd be fab.
Seems unlikely though. Too much bandwidth.
eh i guess not...

Yes I had the same problem, I deinstalled it already.
It is also not possible to choose cam2: (front cam)
this is a really really old non-finished project...Passport does not even exist anymore...
The front cam is not supporting it seems so i too uninstalled and i have to look for some other alternative.

I agree 100% using the front camera on skype or msn would be really cool.

thanks.. nice program.. this maybe achieve the topic starter target ...
Here i quote from Barablu website
Not just a pretty face!
Still dreaming about the day you can see who you are talking to on your mobile – sci-fi style?
With the latest version of barablu you can do exactly that! FREE.
Video calls are now MOBILE!
barablu enables you to receive free video calls on your mobile*. See who you are talking to, no matter where you are in the world!
Mobile video calls are possible between PC and mobile users where both devices have the latest version of barablu installed. Although the mobile user will see the PC users, the PC user won’t be able to see the mobile user (yet).
How do I make a mobile video call?
Easy. Download the latest version of barablu, get a webcam and start making free video calls.
If your friend does not have a webcam, he will still see you, but you won’t see him. This principle is the same for mobile video calls. The person on the mobile will see you, but you won’t see him.
How much does it cost?
Nothing…absolutely zero*.
Did you know?
You can transfer your latest video clip or photos from your mobile to your PC with barablu. Learn more

there is no word about be able to do webcamera on a windows pc with the phone... sorry orb live wont do it
i would like to use the nexus one as a webcamera for my laptop and viewing webcams on the n1...
I've done it with orb... no problem.
Make sure you set up their latest edition and use it through the web browser. Their app sucks... through the browser its free
I can see how you can use a PC Webcam and bring it to the N1 using this software, but I really don't see how to do the opposite.
How do I use the N1 as the webcam that's viewable on a PC?
qik anybody?
aad4321 said:
google it. i know there is a dev out there who has a working on on 1.6. He hasent done 2.1 yet because he does not have a N1 to test with. currently i do not believe their is an app or way to do this yet

I have "googled it". What search terms would you suggest to get some relavent results? When I do searches I typically end up with two hits that at first seem like they might be useful. The first goes to google's forum and is worthless... the next one links to this very thread.
Two different people here have said they've done it with orb... it's pretty reasonable to ask them how they did it since doing searches on orb's site don't give anything fruitful.

Why do you keep posting off topic?
Let's start over and read the question being asked and see if there's a solution.
We all know that Orb will let you stream a webcam that's connected TO YOUR PC to your phone.
That is NOT what we're trying to accomplish.
We'd like to be able to (as the thread states) "N1 using as a webcam" Use the N1's built in camera to stream live video to another place.
I would like to be able to set the phone down, aim it's camera at something and then have someone else... PC across the planet... whatever... be able to see what the phone is aimed at.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Now that's what I'm talkin about. Good find. Will try out and report back.
*edit* This must have been removed from the market. I even went to the publisher's page on the phone and clicked the market link they have there and it takes you to a "no matches" page... boo...
do you still have the 0.4 apk?

I do. I'll rip it when I get home if I remember, but you'll also need a software client on the PC side which I do not have.

Yea, that's the point I'm at... I wonder why they took it down.
The only issue I'm seeing is that they say it only gets 3fps... that ... kinda sucks.
*edit* and thanks for grabbin the apk off your phone later.. I appreciate it.
Another issue I'm having, and maybe it's just because I don't have it attached to a computer yet, but everything is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise on my n1 and a portion of the bottom mirrors the image.
