.Many of us don’t have Webcams and might
want to use your mobile as a Webcam to save on some cash and also to put
your mobile camera to better use.You will need to install your
Bluetooth stack / drivers – Microsoft, Bluesoliel, Widcomm etc if you
plan to use Bluetooth to connect your phone and PC. You will also need
to install Nokia PC Suite in case you are using a Nokia phone.
There are two applications to use your mobile as a Webcam:
1. Mobiola Webcam
Download Mobiola Webcam
http://mobiola-webca.en.softonic.com/symbian/download
Mobiola Webcam is the most popular Webcam software for mobiles, it is
compatible with many phones – Symbian S60, S60 V3, UIQ, Windows Mobile,
Blackberry etc. In case it isn’t compatible with your phone, but your
phone supports J2ME, you can use the Mobiola Webcam Lite version. It
runs on almost all J2ME phones. In case, you have some prehistoric phone
with no J2ME support, then it’s time to dump it and get a new phone.
Just download Mobiola Webcam / Webcam Lite from the above links after
selecting your platform. Install the Mobiola Web cam setup on your PC
and transfer the mobile sis / jar file to your mobile and install it. Be
sure to give it all the access permissions it requires during
installation.
Just start the Mobiola application on your mobile
and PC. From your mobile, select Options > Connect and select the
connection method – Bluetooth, USB or Wi-Fi. We would recommend
connecting via data cable as it is faster. After you are connected, you
can use the mobile camera as your Webcam. Just start your favourite
application and in the Video / Webcam options, select the Mobiola Webcam
/ Your Phone. You can adjust the video quality, contrast and brightness
from Options > Settings.
2. WWIGO (Webcam Wherever I Go)
Download WWIGO
WWIGO is also a nice little application that allows you to use your
mobile camera as a Webcam. It supports connections via Bluetooth only
though. Just download the application from the above link and install
it. After installation, navigate to your Program Files directory and get
the WWIGO mobile application from there. Transfer it to your mobile and
install it.
Now start both the PC and mobile WWIGO
applications. Now select an GPRS access point in your mobile, and select
Options > Connect. Select your PC as the Bluetooth device and let
the PC and mobile WWIGO applications connect.
After the
connection is done, you can use your mobile camera to record videos as a
Webcam. To use it as a Webcam, open the Webcam / video settings of your
application and select WWIGO as the Webcam. You can adjust the video
resolution and zoom levels from Options > Settings
