it will be cool if with unlock key..... :lol:
Anybody test this program? Does it work om Alpine?
Yes it does work, not a bad little app really.
Really nice app, thanks a lot!
Does anybody know which are the best
settings in order to capture fine photos?
Thanks!
first of all how do you get it to run ....do you just copy into windows as my file is a .php is that right
It is vey nice application....How can I map the default camera key so to use with this application?
To run CoolCamera instead of the standard camera software change the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Edit the camera shortcut to point to \Programs\ATEKsoft\CoolCamera\CoolCamera.exe
got many software that can remap your hardware button. just search it.....
Yes I know that, I mean inside the program it has not such a setting...
Re: CoolCamera
Ran it on mine, had problems with the menu system and then it freezes, I don't think I#ll bother with that until it hs been developed alot more.
atek coolcamera
Thank you very much for coolcamera. it look nice and pro. I just test it and think it is bester than camera soft on my o2i. especially when take a video.
I set my coolcamera setting like this:6-5-4-5-3
Does anyone know if it's possible to access the forward-facing video camera via software oneself, even if the Video Call feature is not available on your network ? I work for at a hospital and as a "pet project" ( telemedicine ) one of the doctors who has a Kaiser would like to be able to video conference in with the forward facing camera. I would like to pursue this ( and I just might get a Kaiser for myself in the process..hint..hint ), and am curious if anyone has attempted to access the QCIF camera directly.
Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thank you.
Yes
open the camera application, the open the camera menu. (little bar below in the screen) lower line in the middle shows camera, press this button and the camera switch to the forward camera...
And if you want the front camera to start up by default, I scanned the registry and you should change the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> software --> HTC --> Camera --> common
change the value of activecameraID from 1 to 2, voila front camera will start first.
offtopic: did anyone tried this already with an voip program and videovoiping? going to check it right away... Because it always starts the rear camera...
cheers
It doesn't work with MS Portrait
I have emailed MS regarding updates to Portrait and compatibility with front facing cameras. They replied saying they are aware of the Camera issue and that they would notify me of any updates.
I am not holding my breath... MS updates are few and far between compared to the rate of development achieved by some of the geniuses on here.
Thanks but....
Thanks for the replies, but I meant programmatically. I'm not trying to take pictures. I want to know where I can find information about how to programmatically access the camera, for a custom application that would run over 3G which would both stream video to the display, and capture and stream video out of the QCIF ....just as if the video call feature were available, but for networks where this is not possible.
As I said, this is for supporting a telemedicine application, that would allow the doctor to interact with a patient at bedside, when they are not physcially present.
For an application that would allow the video conferencing, you might want to consider MeBeam (www.mebeam.com). It's a flash based site that allows you to video conference with up to eight other people. I'm not sure if their flash application will be able to detect your hardware, but it's worth a shot.
In an effort to de-duplicate a lot of information, I have moved the bulk of it to the DSLR Controller website. This thread still remains the place to get support, discuss, and ask questions, though!
DSLR Controller was the first and remains the best app to fully control your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device, through USB cable or Wi-Fi connection. No computer or laptop required, no root required, only a compatible mobile device, a compatible camera, and if connecting through USB, the right cable.
We strongly suggest you read up on the website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) about what DSLR Controller can do, how it works, and how to use it, before purchasing. The website contains a wealth of information you should know before using.
Not all devices are compatible, especially if you want to use a USB connection. For a free app you can use to test compatibility, see the "Remote Release" app ( http://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.remoterelease ). If you need a refund, go to our website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) and follow the instructions in the FAQ entry. We cannot process refunds through email.

Thanks, so all those cameras will work? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canon_EOS_DSLR_cameras
Some really nice updates in the beta! I have seen greater stability and manual mode is working much better!
For the first time, I have access to the AF button and can focus using those. That is a big step forward. I had it stop responding once, but after restarting, it worked great.
Question, not sure if this is a current limitation or if i am not doing something right. When I choose to magnify the image, it zooms in the rectangle box. Is there a way to move that box around the screen, like on the liveview of my camera when zooming?
didn't work
Hello,
I have Canon EOS D1000 and Notion Ink Adam running AdamComb 0.3 custom Honeycomb ROM. Software said that USB host mode not supported on my device, although it should be . Too bad, because I was very exited about this software Maybe my camera and device could be added to next update? And if I can be any help, I would be glad to do so.
I realy hope you make it work with nikon cameras, I have a nikon d60 so i would not get livewiev. but just to be able to remote triger would be nice plus reviewing the taken photo on the fly. right now the built in gallery in android works, it reconises the camera and shows me the pictures on it. But if i take a new shoot i have to exit out of the gallery to get it to show me the new photo.
Hello,
Got 10" Acer Iconia A500 tablet, Canon 50D. Could I connect my camera to an ordinary USB port this device has, and use your software?
Looks great, just what I have been looking for and I'll happily pay for it and test out on the Canon 450d but I can't find it on the market.
Edit: Ignore that I found it! Will test it out as soon as my USB Host cable arrives and report back.
super cool you guys made techcrunch http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/GOsO-gx0eK0/
You continue to be one of my mobile developer heros!
Amazing!
I would love to have this, but I don't have a capable phone. Hopefully CM can gain the support and the Evo 3D can gain CM . I assume this will work on any EOS? If it works on the 550D I don't see why it wouldn't work on the 600D...
Saw it here...
http://cheesycam.com/control-dslr-with-usb-android/
this is great! Found it on Android Police I believe.
Is there a reason this beta is a paid app?
Also, do you think its possible to do something like this on a Nikon? I'm not asking you to do it (I mean,unless you wanted to), but just wondering if there's hope... my D80 may be too old for it anyway, but it'd be awesome either way.
Great work, congrats on this getting out to the public so quickly!
Is this only for cameras that support live view
I may be wrong but from the list of cameras supported so far, they are all new EOS models that have the live view feature. I suspect the application may not work with older EOS models. Has anyone got it to work with a 1D Mark2N?
I am a member of a small student team which is trying to emulate camera from virtual Android machine into Windows 8. We've made a little research and haven't found any camera specifications or protocol. First of all we want to replace video stream from camera into ours. We found that we can't capture video stream changing some functions in android.hardware.Camera (maybe we are wrong?). Also we haven't found this class on HTC One (because we have to replace it).
Therefore we have many question and nobody to ask. So I'd like to say about things that I haven't known completely. Please correct (if it is necessary) and help me in this issues:
How many different camera protocols exist?
How does they look like?
What is the difference?
(As I can understand all laptop cameras work using usb protocol, so do usb cameras. But how does camera work on HTC One on hardware level?)
How can we capture and change video stream from camera on Android except going inside the kernel and can we do such thing?
Thank you for your attention.
P.S Also you should know, that we are just beginners and we may have wrong ideas
Hopefully there's a simple answer to this, and hopefully this is a place to find it!
I'd like to be able to switch between the front, back, and a USB-C connected camera for input to streaming apps (notably Facebook Live, and Zoom conferencing, but would like a more general solution). Ideally, video mixing (e.g., picture-in-picture), would be nice.. The primary application is to stream live interviews, site walkarounds, etc., from a gopro or the camera in a pair of AR goggles. E.g., live stream the view from the head-mounted camera, with an inset view of me, from the phone's front camera.
Right now:
- I can almost do it all from a Microsoft Surface - the basic camera app allows selection from front, back, external USB camera. Control of camera selection is through the system settings dialog.
- On a Samsung Galaxy Note 20, I can't seem to find the equivalent of a system-level setting. The basic camera app allows for picture-in-picture still & video from the front/back cameras - but doesn't seem to have a way to select an external camera. Facebook live allows switching front/back, doesn't seem to do picture-in-picture.
Documentation for all this stuff seems hard to find. I've been pouring through the various android developer sites, and device related sites - lots of stuff on low level code interfaces, nothing on what's actually coming across the cables, and mostly out-of-date youtube videos on how to do very specific things with very specific external video switches, and various downloadable apps that don't seem to work very well.
Which leads to the following questions:
- Are there any deeply buried settings - in Android, Samsung Developer Tools, or Facebook, Zoom, Teams - that let one select a usb camera? (Bonus for allowing picture-in-picture.)
- Any recommendations for an Android video switch/mix application that inserts itself between the system video interface, and standard apps?
Hopefully, amongst all the noise, there's a simple solution.
Thanks very much for any assistance anybody can offer.
