Using MPX200 like a survelence camera ?

[Guest jack_d12]

Anyone every used the mpx200 to monitor something paired with their webcam ? i know the gx22 has that function in Hong Kong just wondering since the mpx200 can browse regular html sites could i be able to view a webcam that is put online thru my mpx200 ??

Should be possible (I remember this being talked about before in the past)

but the cost of GPRS would make it expensive to use :?

thought gprs on t-mobile is free ain't it ? so how would i go about doing so ?

if you set up a personal web server on your computer, eg iis, badblue etc, then you can connect to your computers ip address, now, your webcam software should be able to stream the vid to a webpage on your personal web server (the software that comes with the cam should be able to do this), if not... in windows media encoder, you can set it to stream your source video (in this case the webcam) to a specific port on your personal web server, and thats all there is to it really. you can use this exact same technique to stream audio if you like, so you could have your mp3's etc streaming to your phone (direct from winamp or windows media player or whatever), but remember, gprs isnt exactly fast, so you would probably get a lot of break up unless you set the quality real low.

ok i've set up the streaming video and i can play it on my laptop kinda lags but is alright. but when i type in the url into my phone it says file not find or i'm not connected to the network or something. i'm sure i'm connected cuz i can connect to other sites w/ my mpx200 ?? what's going on ??

I use my mpx200 to check my outside camera all the time :) The best program I have found is webcam xp http://www.webcamxp.com/ its very simple to setup a server and/or a website plus I get email when someone comes near the door :D Here is my url to try on your phone http://homepage.ntlworld.com/rat.com/webca...phonewebcam.htm oh and feel free to use my html code for yourself (page justs reloads itself every 15 seconds) :wink: Let me know how you get on....

i can only get the WME to broadcast the streaming video to a port on my ip ? how do i get it to stream to a file like html,wmv, or asf ? i'm kinda confused on using it. anyone got a tutorial or help guide on it ? i don't get what it means by push to WME server and pull from encoder ? i'm guessing push o wme server is it put it on a server and pull from encoder means to just host the stream on my own computer ?? CONFUSED!!!! :roll:
