Smartphone used as a wireless webcam
Posted on Sep 27, 07 08:03 PM PDT
Here's one more way to use your smartphone - turn it into a webcam! SmartCam is an open-source application that runs on Windows XP or Vista, enabling any S60-powered handset's camera to double up as a webcam. Unfortunately, Mac users are left out in the cold again with this open-source solution, but you can always comfort yourself that Macs already come with integrated iSight webcams. Still, to know that you can have a handy webcam on-the-spot without forking out additional dollars is always a boon. Before you get started though, remember to install the SmartCam application onto your Windows machine followed by the mobile client on the S60 device. Oh yeah, and it requires Bluetooth connectivity to link up - cables just won't do these days.
