Sorry if this has been asked before, I've read lots of threads but cannot see anything...

Is there some way of doing video over IP from the phone (wifi / 3G) to a PC?

Take it easy before you flame me, its my first post ;)

Thanks for that, but having tried it the forward facing camera doesn't work and the performance is pants even over a g wifi link. Am I missing something?

Not sure what you're really trying to do, but if you want to use your phone as a web cam then check out webcameraplus. Still have to connect with data cable to pc because it connects through active sync/device manager.

are you asking if you can look through your phone's camera on your PC?
eg: Your phone is connect to an online service that enables and uses your phone's camera, then you would connect to that service from your pc and see through the phone's camera.....is that what you're trying to accomplish?

It should be able to be done, I had ran across a program not too long ago that allows you to control and see whats going on your mobile, it is able to connect through active sync/Device maneger and over the internet (wifi/3G) so you should be able turn on the camera from your pc and see through the camera from your pc.....I din't remember the name of it, but its out there.
