Mobile IP DVR Phone Cam

[markanthonypr]

Hello friends. Its been a while I don't start a thread, so here is a concern I have and hope some of you could help with. There is such a thing called DVR (Digital Video Recorder) which a Tornado does by nature of the cam software. There is also an "IP Camera" which transmits live video over internet and can be seen remotely over an internet browser.

I'm into the RC(Remote Control) airplanes and today I was flying over at a beautiful site by the beautiful beaches of Aguadilla, PR. A thought blew up my mind. Would it be possible to make my phone transmit video over GPRS and be seen remotely over an IE Browser?

Just imagine how cool it would be to attach my phone to my RC Airplane, and to be able to share the view with friends over the internet. Whats even more fun would be to be able to leave my PC at home recording (DVR) off the IE IP website where I'll be transmitting.

Well if anyone knows of a program that could do such a thing, or even if it would be possible to do it with the Tornado Cam, please speak up. I have a broken Tornado that I could use for this purpose.

Thanks for your comments!

@ MOD If you feel this should go under hacking and dev please advice and we can move it there later. I'd like to get first feedback from Tornado Users. Thank You.

@Mark
I installed on my TouchPro/Raphael and it works great. Let me know when you do the live cast (add me to your member's list).
Have a good day.

Sounds awesome, I'd like to see the results of that. However, not be a naysayer, but pushing data like that over GPRS? I dunno, even at its fastest with EDGE it can be painfully slow, I would guesstimate that you'd get around 1 frame/second at a low quality at best, I could be wrong though. Never hurts to try!

If you're interesting in FPV (video on flying stuff, etc) check out this project:

This guy made a cool quadcopter and there's some links around to camera stuff, not really related to phones, but still cool.

I already downloaded and installed livecast (http://www.livecast.com). Will test as soon as possible. Video should be fine, I'm thinking of at least 5 FPS Edge is pretty fast down here. I just need to turn off audio. Live cast transmits both Video and audio. and I only care for video at the moment. But, chances are I'll buy a MiniSpy Cam that has been adapted for RC flying. Only thing I don't like so far is the range which the highest I've found so far is 300m. I usually go around 5-600m. So that's my hold on that option. Still thinking of it.
