Streaming to Cell Phones...Free Program.

[tdave00]

I was messing with some free software the other day that turns your camcorder into a webcam.

TrackerCam (It's the third product down - TrackerCam 5.20 Full)

It has an HTTP and a WAP? server (for cellphones). As I was messing with the settings I noticed that it had an option to choose your capture card as a source. I was able to select it and see television. I never got the sound working (I was sleepy). But when I noticed that it was possible to be viewed over a cell phone lights started flashing in my head. You can even select different file formats for it to publish (I was not familiar with all of them and I don't even know if any of them were video). I know the quality wouldn't be all that great, although I did test a new cell phone at the sprint store the other day that you can watch streaming video with and it wasn't that bad.

If anyone is interested please take a look at this program or any thing similar and tell me if you think this is possible.

BTW
Donation sent. Thanks sub and others. GBPVR is a great program.

Unfortunately that's not video. I haven't gotten that far yet. It "might" be possible to do that using imode which this server has an option for. I am still reading up on that. I am not even sure my cellphone can do video. I just wanted to put this possibility out in front of some smarter people than myself and see if anyone is interested in it.

Here is a link to my wap server so you can see how it looks on your cellphone.

You can use this software to view your home webcam as well over your cell phone.
Thanks
