Althoug this is not entirely my progrct I plan to make some alteration adn develop it further! Remote Camera is an application that allows you to take pictures with you 7650 by sending an //RECA sms message to the phone!

Edited: There was a stupid mistake that did save the image in another folder! here is the fixed version! I am terribly sorry! 😃

If for some reason the Remote Camera gives errors try to install the Camera Timer! It seems for now to get rid of another bug! I soon will integrate both apps into One so unitl the... 😃

Yeah!! Great to see people getting involved in this.

What features do you plan to add male buffy ??

Multiple Images, at this point any image saved is stored as Remote.jpg I will do it remote1.jpg remote2.jpg etc. Then I will add customizable BIO message, where you can specify the Image quality, location, how many Images to store and the interval! So you are going to send a //RECA message with options like
//RECA location=c:\Nokia\Images\Remote\mynakedgf.jpg Im=10 interval=5secs

This will 10 capture images with the name mynakedgf1.jpg,mynakedgf2.jpg etc every 5 secs

This is all for now 😃

I hope your example doesnt imply usage 😊 :evil: :-? 😮

Good. What exactly is a BIOmessage, how can it be sent, does it need something special ?

No it can be sent from any phone! There are some examples and pdfs on the forum nokia web site!

A bio message is a message that starts usually with //

In this example //RECA as in REmoteCAmera which triggers an aplication in this case the remotecam to take a picture!

Can the trigger messages be sent via BlueTooth? I can see that as being somewhat more useful than triggering via SMS. Cheaper too 😊

This version does not allow this! But Its a great idea and I will sure implement this in the newer version! 😊

Hey Since Muffy 😉 is accepting request to order 😃

Can you then stream the picture back to the PC, 😃 then we can write a bit of application to store these pictures on the PC (unlimited storage) .. and if the rate is good, maybe even a low fps video 😃..

Okay that last bit was too much .. but ??

What have I done?.......sorry MALEBUFFY 😃

Hmmm...interesting! It is possible! i dont know about the video thing but the first one is possible!

Thank you J2theIZZO 😃 Now everybody calls me that! 😃

Ah well! Its better than my original anyways 😊

I really interested in the Remote Camera development how are you doing in the project are you still make further development combine Remote Timer and Camera in one application and adding a few extra features and functionality .Good luck and keep US POSTED PLEASE

Just found this post. I think something will be available in the next week or two that will make everybody happy.

Malebuffy could you email me at gordon(dot)k(at)xtra.co.nz

One of the reasons why I am not posting so much is the application development! I am coding like hell! Gordon...I would email you...I just dont know about what! Email be at m(dot)moutousidou(at)btopenoworld(dot)com to tell me about it!

Well here is the Multi Image version of Remote Camera!

It counts the Images taken in a session and saves accordingly Remote0.jpg,Remote2..etc there might some firmware differences...however as always...install at your own risk! 😊

There are other versions but I am debuging and testing them at the moment and writing other apps so sorry for the delays!

Leave it in the background running and send a message with the message body:

//RECA

Everythime u send a message the camera will take a picture!

keep running in background??? just like execute it and then press the menu button??? then i'll just send //reca than it will shot picture??? how bout when i send //reca again, does it overwrite the first one??? how about the multiple one??? whats the msg to be sent???

keep running in background??? just like execute it and then press the menu button???

Yes

then i'll just send //reca than it will shot picture??? how bout when i send //reca again, does it overwrite the first one???

It doesnt overwrite the first one anyome! This is the multiple image version!

I know this is an old thread, but could someone please give me a link to the newesr version of this program (so the pictures is saved in images folder) - by the way where is the pictures stored in the arlier versions? I would like to delete the images i have taken with remotecam....

Nice didnt think about sms trigerring.. i have made something liek that but
not for mobile yet... i wanna make prog for my p800 as source of video when somebody makes request for my webcam server... which is videostream redistributor on my win server. But i couldnt code it yet as i need to pay 400$ for code"worryior"😊 and dont have time to waste for notepad coding...

My Aim is to make app which will allow me to leave my p800 at car or whenever and watch it remotely via internet... images will be transfered only when i connect to my web server to which p800 is logged and sending videostream on webserver request.
