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
You need Wireless AV Receiver for Camera, 1.2ghz and a cammera Sharp Pro CCD, 32mm 12v you got Night Bulet version also. you need to use google so you can find them
Hi
Is it possible to record directly to my pda using a WIFI IP webcam.
Thanks

Could you please point me to a link where I can get that program please? thanks!
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
Awesome. In preparation for a new series of presentation that I need to run within our company, I discovered that the Logitech Presenter works flawlessly when stuck in the USB port of the HTC 4in1 cable.
When I was still using AP3, my MS Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 worked perfectly, even via Bluetooth (without the 4-in-1 cable and without the dongle), as long as I also installed Teksoft Bluemouse.
Now I'm using AP4 and this setup no longer works. At least not flawlessly.
The mousecursor lags: after I stop moving the mouse, the cursor keeps moving for about half a second.
This problem only occurs when i connect the mouse directly via bluetooth. When I use the dongle and the 4-in-1 cable, there's no lag at all. A regular wired mouse also works fine.
Disabling TouchFlo or killing Bluemouse doesn't remedy the situation
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I'm back on AP3, it's just more stable than AP4.
My mouse is working great again.
WM6.0 bluetooth stack is better for me than the WM6.1 one.
why don't you just use a bluetooth mouse? it works the same as the logitech presenter (without the laser pointer) and the coverage is farther.

Coverage may be better, but useless for real presentations. The presenter lets me adjust volume, blank the screen, set a warning to wind up my presentation 5 minutes before the end etc .... for real presenters, a mouse does not suffice
good point. i stand corrected
Looked and searched but can not find a way to use a printer with the usb cable. My printer has a usb port for printing pics from a camera anyone know a way to use it to print docs etc.. from phone
Thanks in advance
If you have a wireless network that your printer is hooked into try PrinterShare and you can print from your phone. I use it and it works very nicely.
That USB port on the printer is designed for digital camera and card reader hookups and is Windows or Mac based. It probably will not be able to read the Android file system on your phone. Not natively, anyway.

At home have older computer every thing wired so that is a no go. Sometimes just needed to print a doc from phone was looking for the quickest way without mounting unmounting ..... Oh well
Hey all-
Trying to see if this is feasible. If I set up my tablet to be a wireless AP, can I then connect a wireless printer to it and print directly (without use of having a home network ie..no router)?
So essentially have only tablet w/ 3G connection and use a wireless AP program to make it a hotspot. Connect the wireless printer to the AP and then print. Will I need a program like PrintShare too?
That would be interesting
anyone?

Dunno what you guy's try to achieve , but if you have a wireless printer check the drivers from the manufacturer. I popped over to Brother and got in no time my printer (DCP585CW if you must know) up and printing away ....
hey guys, just got my Chromecast and works perfect in my 40" tv. but when I plug it into my new 60" toshiba smart tv the screen image is there but the whole picture is pink/purple. any ideas?
Sounds like you have a bad HDMI port or TV.
Hey, I'm having the same exact problem you are having. I have a 55" Toshiba Smart Tv and I originally purchased the chromecast on the first day it went on sale, came home and found everything to be in shades of Pink/purple. I returned it thinking it was a problem with the device since I've never had any problems with HDMI ports on the TVs and just got another chromecast device today and the SAME THING HAPPENED! I've tried all ports and the chromecast does not work on any (my blu-ray and other HDMI connected devices work fine on all of them ). Please let me know if you find a solution.
Thank you.

If you have an HDMI audio receiver you can also just plug it into an HDMI port there too. I have mine plugged into my sony 7.2 receiver. Works fine, CEC and all.
Toshiba 47L6200U - same problem

I am also having this issue on my Toshiba Smart TV (Toshiba 47L6200U). Wanted to add that at one point I switched from USB power on the television to the wall charger, and the Chromecast went through an update during which time the progress wheel was in full color. Once it finished the picture then changed back to purple. Unfortunately I have no other devices to try to plug it into but there does appear to be a pattern with these sets.
Unfortunately I don't have a receiver and hadn't planed on getting one for this set up. I've never been able to connect the TV to the internet to perform any firmware updates so perhaps this may help? I'm really not sure. I also have seen that once it is updating - the rotating wheel is in the normal proper colors, however once it reverts back to the setup/welcome screen - it goes back to the shades of pink. I called up google and they said they've not heard of it so it seems to be a problem solely with the Toshiba XXL6200U series TV's. Have any of y'all performed the firmware updates?

Out of curiosity did you try the HDMI extender that came with your ChromeCast in case it is a connection issue?
I have the same TV, but have not received my chromecast yet. I'm wondering if it may be hdmi cec is off or on? I read up on this more and it may be the hdmi handshake that is causing the issue. It says to swap ends, try another cable etc.

I tried using the extender that came with it, and also another one I had laying around the house. Neither of them worked.
I'm not really tech savvy so not sure what CEC is or how to turn it on or off. Getting frustrated trying to do the firmware update as well. I connected a USB with the firmware update on the root menu but for some reason the TV isn't recognizing the usb.

Cec is in the TV settings. Menu (on remote ), preferences, hdmi cec control setup, turn it on and see what happens.

I have an old 2007 vintage Toshiba 37X3030DB. If you have the Chromecast plugged into HDMI-2 (Digital only port), select that as the input port, then power on the Chromecast, it completely works as expected. However, change back to HDMI-1, then back to HDMI2 using the Toshiba remote, you get a permanent blue screen - even though the Chromecast thinks it's working.
Placed a tech support call with Toshiba UK to see if updated firmware beyond 2.9 will help...
I have a 2006 Westinghouse (it was one of the very first 1080P TV available). I have had issues with Pink screen screen with various HDMI devices. Usually turning the TV off and back on will fix the pink screen, usually on the first try though not always.
With the Chromecast this seem to work, but not anymore. It may or may not have to do with the update to FW 13300, I can't say for sure. But sadly the pink screen is more persistent now.
My Chromecast is connected to my Pioneer receiver and I found that if s switch back and fourth with another input I can eventually get rid of the pink screen. I works best if I wait and let the input receive a signal and at time it does take me several attempts before it works.
So just something to try.
don't know if this is related, but sometimes when you have a loose connection on say a pc monitor you will get a pink screen, it could be that the connection to your guys tv isnt fitting all the way in, might want to take a closer look. it could be that the mini usb thats connected to the Chromecast is weighing down on the chromecast and making it loose and thus creating the pink screen, might wanna look closer at the connection.
im trying to cast from computer.. chromebrowser, has worked perfect earlier. but now the picture is pink.. sounds work good... the chromecast background pictures shows fine when not casting anything...
If I use the built in cast option in youtube.com it was great.. but not when casting the whole page in chromebrowser..
i have a really bad connection at home, but it has worked on that before

This is my exact issue.
It isn't the HDMI port, it isn't faulty, or else every device would show the pink hue. The dongle itself isn't broken or else everything would be pink and not just tabs that are cast, like cowsick said, Youtube casts perfectly, just any other tabs.
Kinda blows, worked fine previously, an no one anywhere seems to be addressing the issue.

Green, gray or magenta are often the sign of decoding "nothing" meaning the data didn't reach the destination in time.
I would look to network latency caused by network congestion between the PC and Chromecast (on a bandwidth-limited connection, or are there other network transfers going on in the background?) and to transcoding latency on the computer casting to Chromecast (how busy is the CPU?). Try reducing the resolution via the Cast extension settings.
For direct casting to Chromecast via native apps, Chromecast can buffer and negotiate connection speed as necessary. When it's getting a tab casted over, there's a constant stream of frames being generated, compressed and sent over that need to be decoded - all in reasonable sync with the PC.
For example, in the case of MPEG-2 for DVD, there are Presentation TimeStamps (PTS) and Decode TimeStamp (DTS). PTS determines when a frame should be display (ie, 0:09;13 should be displayed 9 seconds, 13 frames in) while DTS determines when the frame's data need to be retrieved and decoded. If a frame can't be retrieved by the decode time (for example, because of a disc read error) usually the player will simply hold the previous frame, so you'll see a pause. But if the player actually tries to decode the data (for example, in a video editing program), you can see a frame of mainly or solid green, gray or magenta - an empty frame caused by decoding "nothing."
RojasTKD and BurnOmatic are right that a similar effect can be seen if HDCP handshake is broken or interrupted - there's a "garbage" screen that appears until HDCP re-synchronizes, but as andres2163 and cowsick say, if that was the case it should happen for any Chromecast output, not just tab casting.
Fix: disable hardware accelaration
Disabling hardware acceleration fixes the issue.
