Hi friends,
I would like to share this with you.
Using the Active webcam sw from PY software I have been able to establish a webcam over wap. You need to scale the picture to the rigth size and adjust the jpg quality to about 50% but the it works as long as the jpg file is under 3k (some wap limitations I think). Now I will setup the motion detection and see if I can find an email address that forwards the email to sms. If I succed I will be able to see if somebody opens the front door at home were ever I am! Like to hear if somebody else has worked along this line. The picture quality is not perfect (logitech quickcam vc usb) but it is okay and better than I expected. By the way should it not be possible to use bmp pictures in the t68m? Or does anybody know how to convert the jpg to gif before the ftp transfer (has to be automatic of course).
Cheers! |

Hi wapmanse,
can you specify what "nice" software are you referring to?
I'm also looking into posting from webcam to view using my T68.
Thanks! |

To see my wap webcam:
http://hem.passagen.se/jeli/cam4.wml
The wml code is very simple:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card id="WebCam" title="Your camera">
<p align="center">
EasyFreeWebCam
<br/>
<img src="cam.jpg" alt="My wap webcam"/>
<br/>
<br/>
Visit the EasyFreeWebCam home page at http://www.msagentsoftware.com
<br/>
</p>
</card>
</wml>
Of course you should be able to just scrap the advertising.
I will have the cam up for a while now but shut it down later because the cam is in my daugthers room.
Cheers
PS Only works with T68i at the moment DS

Thanx.. I forgot to say that the cam is set to take a picture every 30 second and you need to do a reload in the wap browser to get a new picture.. |

Hi,
Came across this when trying to get an alert over SMS when the webcam detects a movement in the picture. You can use this to send an sms via email to the phone:
"your mobile number"@esms.nu
It works if I send an email from the mail client (outlook) but for some reason not from the mail program in the webcam sw. I do get an email alert to my email accout if I enter that into the webcam sw. I will keep working on this.
Cheers! |

Mission accomplished...
I did succeed to get an SMS alert when motion detection was activated in my webcam sw. However there is a limited number of SMS you can send using the:
“yournumber”@esms.nu
So now I need to start looking for a more permanent solution (free of charge).
Would appreciate any comments from you guys on possible use of this application. I would like to try and get the pictures from the traffic web cams adapted to the format of the T68i. Would make it possible to check the traffic at alternative routs as I sit in my car. Must be thousands of other possibilities, like to hear your suggestions.
Cheers!
