TYVM for your perfect review!

Answers:

Probably, the overview of several channels is not rationaly - the screen is too small to see more than one.

G-sensor? Which function for G-sensor for an application should be given?

First, the conception of RC Camera is next:

1. It must be a "light" app - must work satisfactory with the old, slow devices (like my HTC Touch).

2. The app must consume low level of a traffic - because it suppose to monitoring camera through Internet.

3. The app must be suitable for any ip-cameras.

Acoording to the first point, to add a skin supporting is not rationaly. Also, a skin makes a visible area of picture smaller.

As of the second one, RC Camera uses jpeg-mode of ip-cameras to reduce the traffic. Hereupon, it is not possible to use a steaming data of a camera - the short refresh rate (like a video) and sound supporting. But, in practice 5-20 seconds of refreshing are enough to control a remote situation.

As of the third reason, I can't add a remote setup control, becouse it is a unique function for a certain camera.

In next release (version) your remark about the mistakes in finger PTZ control in non fullscreen mode will be taken into account. Also, it is a really good cc.torres's idea - to add a digital zoom function.

About the payment: I am not a proffesional programmer, it is just my hobby ... and the first experience of working out the application for mobile device. ;)

Vivotek Cameras

Dear rcolonel,

Would it be possible to include support for Vivotek PT 7137/7135 and PZ7132 cameras This is fantastic software I have been looking for somthing like this for ages I wrote a web page which downloads an image (have to refresh manually) but this app is great please keep up the good work.

Linksys WVC54G

Hi. Nice looking software. Can you tell me, is the Linksys WVC54G IP webcam supported, I can't seem to connect to mine useing the Lynksys profile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi tonyblack,

i think you can help rcolonel. If there a description for the api of your cam? I mean there must be something that tells you how to connect from remote with own applications. You have asked in the forum on the linksys site (link1) (link2) (link3) ? I know there is a good forum where you possible can ask first (only an idea). And with this information rcolonel can adapt this to the cam profiles. But when you have the information you can do it on your own (see the settings site of rc camera).

Ok, it is not so easy for everyone, but an idea. I have done this in the same way for a special different webcam server (not axis). My friend use this hardware.

@rcolonel:

I will ask my friend to get this webcam server profile (not axis)

Hints:

You can save the webpage view of your camera with an liveview and save this one local on your hard disk. Then zip it and upload the file here.

BTW. API information - Linksys WVC54G:

- Uses the daylife API (and for older items, the technorati API)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi Fadetogrey,

take a look at the links. Possible you can help to get informations about your cam:

THE Hint:

here is the link for pdf - from up page 88 you find the cgi commands

Thanx, mike2nl!

It is right for 7132, but not for 7135/7137.

For 7135/7137 instead of "/cgi-bin/viewer/" should be set "/cgi-bin/".

Blacklist

My inability to help makes me really upset. :(

I have to publish the Blacklist in the head post:

Not all manufacturers publish information about the CGI-commands, which are used to communicate

with their IP-cameras. Probably for this reason, RC Camera could not be adapted to work with the

following cameras: SPARKLAN CAS-670W, Linksys WVC54G​
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcolonel:

Ok got all my vivotek cameras and 2 other brands working which is great. Now when I reflash my ROM how do I back up and restore all my data (settings and cameras) to this application. ?

Hi rcolonel,

what is your todo for the next version, so far you planned one....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fadetogrey:
A cool idea

Hey just an idea what about the ability to select some or all of your cams and scan from 1 to the next cam. Just an Idea !

fadetogrey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Minister:
Thanks for this app! WORKS!

Hi there,

just like to report that this program works with my DCS-5220 Dlink Web cam. I was able to tick the PTZ control supports so that I can control left right up down and Home button for the camera too.

I am using the HTC HD2 with Net3.5 installed.

The only set back was that this program does not support audio? Whereas a RTSP streaming application will be able to deliver audio but without manual controls.

Great job nevertheless!!

A tip:

If you have "Camera control preset locations" set for your Dlink camera, you can change the left right up down zoom buttons (i changed the zoom buttons since I don't use zoom) to this command /cgi-bin/recall.cgi?recall=***** (eg: if your preset location is "Window", they it should be /cgi-bin/recall.cgi?recall=Window)

If you want autopan, then it should be /cgi-bin/camctrl.cgi?auto=pan. But somehow I don't like or use autopan

If you want auto patrol, then it should be /cgi-bin/camctrl.cgi?auto=patrol. Kind of nice since auto patrol goes to each preset locations. It scans multiple preset locations automatically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi Minister,

do you use the windows home sever solution? Because there is an add-in from d-link for the WHS. Take a look to www.homeserverland.com. The link to the d-link add-in. The domain is from an american friend from me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Minister:
Now I don't have WHS. So I guess I can't use this. thanks for the info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
No problem Minister, it was only a thought. Sometimes the people does'nt know whats going on in the right scene. So about that my hint for you.

But on this site you can find the first add-in for the WHS that is using the windows mobile. The WM6.x application name is = WHSmobile. I use it to control the whole server via my phone (signature). OK the screenshots are from the iiiiiiiiiphone app, but the better gui is running on the wm6.x ;).

Ok this have nothing todo with rcolonel's app, but some new thoughts for XDA???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcolonel:
I apologize for the long absence. It was a lot of work. There was no time to do hobbies. :(

I will continue to work on the program. Interesting idea to add the digital zoom (topical for cameras that do not have the PTZ function). Hopefully soon I will implement it in the new version of RC Camera.

I like the Fadetogrey's idea of a scanning mode of multiple cameras. But this will require a major alteration, because have to use the mechanism of threads. It is not fast. :(

Once again, thank you for your interest.

Well I was finally able to try these settings. But I still cannot move the camera. What else can I try?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wkwong:
Thanks for very nice app.

I can use it at FOSCAM clone IP camera.

When I try to change the PAN/Tilt to one step at RCCamera.pfl, it give an error "Camera profile was defined inaccurately. Please, correct it"

The original, OK one.

cmdPTZLeft="/decoder_control.cgi?command=4"

The new one, fail

cmdPTZLeft="/decoder_control.cgi?command=4&onestep=1"

It seems that the pfl cannot accept "&onestep=1". How can I solve it ?

BTW, Can you change the app. to have higher picture refresh rate. Now is 1s, add an option like 0.5s should be nice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcolonel:
pfl

Hi, wkwong.

Why did you edit the file "rccamera.pfl"? This file contains preset read only profiles. It can not be changed, because when reinstalling the program it will be overwritten. Making changes to "rccamera.pfl" permitted to me only. :)

User's settings are stored in the file "rccamera_camprofiles.xml". This file is not recommended to fix outside of the program as well. But if you do it, guided by the rules for xml - instead of "&" to write "&".

You should (in the menu/settings/profiles page) specify your cam commands, a unique profile name and add a new profile to the list (button "Add"). Then select this new profile for your camera and save it all (menu "Ok").
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcolonel:
higher refresh rate

Not sure that the camera is faster. What is your buffer value ("buf=?") is displayed in the line "beta inf" while viewing the camera? Value data is greater than 1 means that the requests are sent faster than receive responses from a camera.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcolonel:
Panasonic

I do not know what else to suggest ...:(

Maybe not precisely specified authorization data? Try to re-enter your username and password to access the camera (with the predefined "* Panasonic" profile).

P.S. Are you using the version 3.0 beta2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wkwong:
My buffer value is 2. So faster request is meaningless !?

BTW. the onestep control is working when I set it in Setting - Camera.

Thanks again.

Video doesn't work??

Hello - i'm still quite new to the whole IP Cam phenomeon so excuse the newbness.

I have a trendnet TV-ip201 wired IP cam - i have updated it to the latest firmware. I have the port open on my dd-wrt router, and dydns setup so i can access it over my phone. I know my network configuration is not the issue as i can get the jpg images to load. However i am still confused on the profiles and the documentation for the product is limited.

Neither of the trendnet profiles would work for my camera. However, I did find that if i created a new profile and set the get jpeg image to "/goform/capture" i can get slow refreshing images, but that does not solve my audio problem (and i would like video)

So my question is about the get information cgi field.

I can not figure out what that get information is supposed to be finding - is that where i put the video url? What about the response model prefix - that field also make no sense to me

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcolonel:

I am in a hurry. I'll answer tomorrow. Sorry.

Yes, I was able to get the image capturing to work using the http://cameraip/goform/capture

But is it possible to get the streaming video with audio?

I answered my questions about the get information (checked out a demo site url and found out what the cgi script provides) - unfortunately i cannot find any such cgi url for my camera.

really all i care about right now is getting audio and video

Design does not allow video and audio data. Only static images (camera work in jpeg-mode). Perhaps I'll change it soon.

The fields "Get information" and "model prefix" are used only for testing the connection to the camera (button "check" on the "menu/settings/cameras" page). This is optional.

Has the command "/IMAGE.JPG" worked success for your 201 cam?

Zoom Problem With Panasonic Camera

Hi,

I have been testing out v3.0 BETA2 for a few days and it works great except for one problem.

I have 2 Panasonic cameras, a BL-C111A, and a BB-HCM581A. The zoom controls on the RC Camera application work fine with the BB but don't seem to work with the BL.

I should note that the BL has a digital zoom and the BB is optical.

Also, notice a minor thing, there is a misspelling in the main page, it says "Reqest", should be "Request".

Thanks.
