> Z1010 as a webcam?
Bookmark topic
Hi
Maybe it's a stupid question but wouldn't it be possible to use the Z1010 as a webcam on your pc? In fact the camera for video calling is a kind of a webcam, isn't it? And the mobile phone can be connected to your pc with a usb-cable like most of normal webcams.
Would this be possible with a software upgrade or is it a hardware thing?
thanks a lot

I think its have to be alloved by the software but probably it can be done in a java app because z1010 have a god java suport that alow the software to get accses to the camera and the bluetooth. So if you have a special program on the phone and one on the computer it maybe can be posible.

The only problem is that someone have to create this program, so it's verry small chances for that to happen.

Ok, i guess that if u r able to have a videocaht thru 3g network, u can use it as a webcam with no problem.The only prob with today`s cams is the fact that the refresh rate of the screen is slow and then unable to play it back.It will b possible , i am pretty sure.

The videochat function is almost the same as a webcam over 3g network instead of internet.

I know, that's why I would like to know if it would be possible to use it as a real webcam and how. It would be cheaper if you could use it with your pc and the one you're communicating with doesn't need a phone with a video call function.
