Stream Video to Tilt from 3G webcam

[fsum242]

OK, before we get into it and a moderator comes and slashes my tires... I"VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR THIS INFO BUT NO LUCK! and yes, even WIKI's!

I purchased a D-link webcam *DCS-5220 (http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=546) ...

The DCS-5220 features 3G mobile video support enabling you to view a live video feed from your camera on a compatible 3G mobile phone or PDA anywhere in your 3G coverage area1. The 3G mobile video support expands the functionality of the DCS-5220, allowing you to monitor your remote location without requiring a computer. IP surveillance software is also included to manage up to 16 cameras simultaneously from your computer, send automated e-mail alerts, and record video to your hard drive when motion is detected.

I have tried 3 different players with no luck ......

PVPlayer ... http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=2676&question=pv+player

RTSP 3GP ... http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/rtsp-3gp-ppc-download.html

Dlink states that any phone with a RTSP + 3GPP player should stream video from the DCS-2120 and DCS-5220 ......... http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=2807&question=3g

FYI: The camera works fine as i am able to view it via a computer on any internet connection.

SO, I AM LOST!:confused: and pissed :D (i'm out $300) and can reallllly use your help!

Any takers? Crap i'll throw in a $100 reward for the first one that lands me the capabilty to stream video from my Dlink webcam to my Tilt! (not sure if that's legal on XDA but WTF!

Thxs!

i would say. just use orb.com, i stream my webcam on there and can view it from my tilt with windows media player or corepplayer. the 3g cam ive never heard of before. sounds cool. but if its not doing what it says it will do and your using the right software, then i believe that falls under the catagory of faulty hardware. u should return it. or youll just have to use it in the conventional ways---orb.com or other similar methods.

my 2 cents. good luck

Do you want to post a link to your webcam so we can try to see what's going on?

[fsum242]

ycavan - there is nothing to see - it works fine over the internet to any computer. The issue lies in getting some type of interface (RTSP 3GP) on the mobile that will allow you to watch streaming video specifically designed from the 3G web camera.

And thanks Tazbo28, unfortunetly. i'll probably have to DL orb.com. I was hoping that i would not have to leave my computer running which really means just setting up another computer and using it strickly as a webcam portal. But the flip side of that is i can build a network of up to 16 cameras. OVER KILL but whatever!

What about TCPMP?

[fsum242]

Are you referring to TCPMP v0.72RC1? http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-tcpmp-v0-72rc1.html

I don't know but it doesn't look like it supports RTSP 3GP type. Anything is worth a shot i guess - Thank God for back ups/Active Sync.
