hi
I spent allot of time searching the net for a wireless camera (for security purposes) that has the ability to transfer live video to my Qtek2020i which is wireless enabled.
I am not looking for an IP cam, I dont want to view the video by connecting to GPRS, I want my pocket pc to find the camera as a wireless access point and using some software I want to see the video from that camera, is there anything like that?
all of the wireless cameras I found has a reciever device to connect to TV or VCR and this is not what I want, and the others has the capability to send the video to internet and by accessing the site from the PDA you can see the video, this is also unwanted for me.
so please tell me if there is such a cam and how to buy it and how much, I really need such a product for controlling my office while I am moving in the building, my job includes moving allot to different offices, so I need to check if anyone mess around in my office during my absence directly. i dont want to record then watch, I need something live !
thanks

There is. But you sound muddled about what you want.

You can get WI-FI 802.11b IP webcam's with built-in webserver. Like the Axis 206W. Google it.

You wont need GPRS/WAP connection just a WI-FI connection. This would be only a short distance view on your office. If you need long distance then you really need to use GPRS.

I dont know if this combo works but in theory it should.

You'll never find something integrated; what you need is a simple IP camera AND one/some wi-fi access point.
Btw, if your goal is to get real-time notification of fellon while he is messing, it is enough to set the IP camera to send you e-mail when some activiy is detected. Almost all IP camera have this capability built in.
I have some experience, my company operates in IP based video surveillance systems and I bought my wizard expressely to use it as portable monitor (using gprs only when wi-fi is not accessible).
Ask for more, if needing.

if you want to just view your pc webcam on you pda via wifi, you could use webxcamxp pro. I use this to watch my car out side my house, the webcam is connected to my mce machine in the front room and i can see the webcam on my wizard anyware via wifi, via pocket ie

View Commander for pocket PC

I run a Panasonic BB-HCM331 IP camera.

To connect I have attached to a Wireless client device via the ethernet port.
This in turn connects to my wireless router.

Allocate one of your public IP addresses to the camera this will keep it off your network. Then input this ip address into View Commander and Hey Ho you have a transportable wireless IP cam. Great for watching your garden in the Pub.

Demo available at www.cccamera.co.uk.

Bonus this is Pan Tilt and Zoom. Even works over GPRS

Cheers
