Using phone as an external webcam viewer

2 replies · 5,311 views · Started 27 March 2006

Hi,
Is there any software that allows to see the image from an external ebcam connected to the computer on a series60 phone (SX1), preferably over bluetooth? I mean, I leave the webcam connected to comuter, and when I am not in the room I can see what is happening on my phone.

Another thing which would be quite useful is using a phone as a microphone, or, even better, as a sort of an intercom with a computer, also over bluetooth.

Is there any software that is capable of doing this?

I do not know how far your bluetooth will go...it all depends on how far the camera is from your computer....walls block the connection.

Mobiola Web Camera is a program that lets you use you s60 phone as a webcam....it will show you a screen on your pc of what your cell phones camera is capturing. This might work for you.

Look it up on google to download or test it out. Ive used it on 6600 and 6630.
