Hello

I found LXcam program that is using "Camera for Pocket PC Version 2.60 by HTC Corp." it sends video from mobile device to program on PC. Originally it doesn't work for my MDA Compact but after little tweaking it does now. Program itself is not interesting but owner of this program have HTC Camera API :) http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/LxCam.html

If you want run this progrum do the following:
1. Establish an ActiveSync connection
2. Start LxCamView.exe on the desktop computer
3. Start LxCam.exe on the Pocket PC

enjoy

It's a wrapper with source code, i think that says all.

er... it only works when connected trhu USB?! er... wouldn't a normal webcam be cheaper? ;)
I got a program that does somewthin like that thru WiFi, PPC WebCam. but it aint really live feed. it uses the camera to take pictures and uploads them to an FTP. Then you use a browser on the PC to see the pictures. But it is really slowwwwwwwwwww

I have and XDAIIi and the software works perfect. You connect to your pc/laptop via WI-FI. Then you enter the ip number of the PC/Laptop into the software installed on your XDA. Then run the software on you PC/laptop and thats it. Live 'realtime' video. Wander round the building waving the camera about and evething is shown on the PC/laptop :D :D :D :D Useless but great fun :D :D :D

LxCam does work, but veeeeeery slowly. Is it uploading individual pictures rather than using a streaming method?

A pity no real webcam solution exists for the built in cameras.
