What if we combine Webcam, Windows Media Technology, GPRS and a SmartPhone together? Here is the result:


Video of my webcam is displayed on my phone in real time. There is serveral seconds delay between the encoder and the player. © Jian Shuo Wang.

I broadcasted the scene of my cubicle and use a smart phone to view it, in video, at real time. I can pull my mobile phone and see what is going on, no matter where I am, on bus, in Metro, at airport, in Beijing or in Hainan....

Technology Used

The Windows Media Encoder pushes the video stream from inside the firewall onto a Windows Media Server on public network. The SmartPhone Dopod 515 displays video using its Windows Media Player via GPRS.

Specification in This Experiment

Webcam: ICatch (VI) PC Camera (Driver) (Thanks for Yumin)
Windows Median Encoder: Version: 9.00.00.2980 (Download)
Windows Media Server: Included Windows 2003 Server
SmartPhone: Dopod 515
Connection: GPRS via China Telecom

Windows Media on Air

Firstly, read this article Real-Time Stream Broadcasting Cookbook and setup your Real-Time Stream Broadcasting station. The result is, you can view your webcam from any other computer from the public.

Secondly, visit the URL in your smartphone use your Windows Media Player. The Windows Media Play should behaves the same as the desktop Windows.

The steps seem straightforward.

Go Accross the Firewall

The first problem in this experient is, the webcam is within the firewall and I have no permission to configure to the firewall. So I need to let users outside the firewall be able to see the video inside.

The solution is to find a Windows Media Server on the public website. The Windows Media Encoder can PUSH the video to a publishing point at Windows Media Server. The HTTP connection is initiated by the encoder, so it can go out of the proxy. The client can directly access the Windows Media Server.

We are at Digital Age

I am so excited that my heart beat very fast after I see the video on my SmartPhone. It means a big impact to people's life. This morning, I suddenly found I can turn Wendy's phone into a radio. Just enter http://www.stv.sh.cn/990.asx and it plays the current East Radio Station's program. Then enter http://www.stv.sh.cn/finance.asx, the mobile became a TV set - the real time TV program appeared on the mobile...

Really cool! Isn't it?

Quite a fantanstic combination! However, I have a question does the GPRS service charge high? - I know it is charged by the data size, so it must be costly to use GPRS to watch on-line video.

Posted by: eki on January 20, 2004 11:35 PM

I used the All-You-Can-Eat package from China Telecom. The package is 200 RMB for all the traffic of the month. Moreover, I used my credit (points) I get from telephone bill to pay the 200 RMB so GPRS is free for me - I don't pay a penny for it.

Interesting stuff. But using IIS is a bit overboard, surely? Aren't there web cam apps that would do this? Or, at least create MPEGs that could be streamed with QuickTime Streaming Server? What about QuickTime Broadcaster?

Posted by: Steve Hooker (external link) on January 21, 2004 8:03 PM

Can you please provide steps on how you set up the server etc? It would be a first on the web and would help a great deal.

Posted by: LN on January 22, 2004 12:19 PM

Yes. I believe I will post the steps for the server, the client and the Smartphone after the spring festival.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on January 23, 2004 1:43 AM

I'm doing something similar to check on my home-based webcam but I do not have access to a Windows Media server. I use the other encoder option which is to let the client pull from encoder directly.. therefore no server is needed! It works great and with an unlimited data plan from tmobile I don't have to worry about the cost.

Posted by: mbroussard on January 23, 2004 4:17 AM

mbroussard, yes. There is no need for a Windows Media Server if others can directly access your computer. I had to go out of my proxy so a push solution is needed. For encoder only solution, check this page: http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/20020918_realtime_stream_broadcasting_cookbook.htm

"Moreover, I used my credit (points) I get from telephone bill to pay the 200 RMB so GPRS is free for me - I don't pay a penny for it."

Cool! Can you give a rough idea of how large a telephone bill one has to run up with China Telecom to get free GPRS effectively?

Posted by: WilliamW on January 25, 2004 11:19 PM

WilliamW, I pay around 300 RMB per month for China Mobile for the mobile fee and I has accumulated thousands of points.

Noted with Thanks!

Where can i download the ICatch (VI) PC Camera drivers from? the link at the top of the page does not work. I need them urgent. Please. Thanks.

Posted by: Dess on March 11, 2004 9:35 PM

For the last few years I have traveled with a webcam, headset, computer, GSM phone with GPS, digital camera, and GPS. I have linked my computer to the phone for access any where. GPS to the computer for road maps (none in china).

- I love my Sony Vaio 505 since it only weighs 4 lbs and can do mechanical traslation.

- webcam allows me to talk and see my wife a three young children over the internet.

- US has finally adopted the GSM system so I have contact anywhere in the worl except Japan.

- GPS with map lets me know where I've been.

All the above only weighs about 4 kg. Well worth it.

One question through. T-Mobile here in the US charges outrageous rates for my roaming. Does china mobile have a SIMM card for my GSM phone that will allow about 100 to 300 minutes of mostly international calls?

Thanks.

Bob

Posted by: bob on March 15, 2004 12:15 AM

International calls on mobile phone is too expensive. I suggest you to get some IP cards from the local dealer and use these cards on your mobile.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on March 15, 2004 9:30 AM

Thanks. Does Pudong airport have a center for China Mobile?

Thank you,
Bob

Posted by: bob on March 15, 2004 9:49 AM

Pudong Airport has some card dealers (there is no center)

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on March 15, 2004 10:05 AM

Your comment: "International calls on mobile phone is too expensive. I suggest you to get some IP cards from the local dealer and use these cards on your mobile." seems to suggest that you can get an IP card for a GSM phone that will let you place calls using the Internet for free... is that correct?

Thanks,
Barry

I found many request for SPCA561.SYS, may be this help

On Win XP issues with supplied software by "Sunplus - ICatch (VI) PC Camera" are

Issue 1:- install pgm place SPCA561.SYS file at wrong dir. (I hate all install wizards)
any way after you run install pgm, run following command on command line

copy %windir%\system32\drivers\SPCA561.SYS %windir%\system32\SPCA561.SYS

Issue 2:- Driver dont have XP flag
This is not a problem, just continue install, it will be fine.

Posted by: BeeHoon on March 26, 2005 8:43 PM

I had been trying and trying to make my I Catch {VI} Pc Camera to work since I switched computers. Although it seemed very complicated I didn't give up ! I simply merged my webcam in with Windows Media player. On previous computer I had no Problem capturing and saving images. I finally got this problem solved. When you search for file Spca561 you will find it in system information right side panel. Look thoroughly though. I ended up running macromedia flash player with my windows media player and it works fine. I had no problem however using webcam with IM's . Problem solved until I upgrade to Camcorder. Thanks and Good Luck. One more thing you may want to check out Wangjianshuo's blog. Don't give up!!!

olivetti 350 k camera not working driver

Posted by: erdoğan on July 6, 2005 9:09 PM

Hi There;

I bought a small digital Camera that takes pictures , videos ,audio,..

It failed or it was too hasty when i installed it on my laptop so it was not done properly

I can manage to get videos , photos off the memory chip when i connect via USB post
but the camera fails to work when being used as WebCam Pc-Cam.

I tried it on another PC and it seems to be fine when I waited long enough for the
installation to go through.

The folder says "Sunplus CA533a" or something but then again windows said something about
" ICatch(IV) still camera" .

to cut a long story short I managed to get som edrivers off www.driverguide.com but that did not
help.
A partial installation is doen and when i try to do it again it comes up with do you want to uninstall
and tnen said done but then it does not do it properly ...

Help
Thanks

Included with it was a BURNT cd with some drivers for the "lebeca web camera driver"from "Panwest Corporation" , NO idea if it will work or not.
Guess thats what ya get for buying a older product huh?
If you have any luck.... LET ME KNOW...

Even I am interested in some software to be able to use my mobile phone camera as a webcam. I know that streaming would be extremely difficult in that sense ... but at least does something exist?

interesting that the photo on your computer screen, does not match that of your mobile phone. you are holding the camera on different angles. also it appears you are holding your camera with your first and second arms, and the phone with your third arm.
interesting how the camera changes its position as it streams to the phone.. either there is a huge time delay, or one of the devices is showing a still picture, not a streamed webcam.

Posted by: Danielle on April 22, 2006 6:03 AM

do you need hepl with your Icatch VI webcam, well i've got the answer, just get a spanish dictionary, ok?
primero el problema es que el driver no maneja certificado para windows, eso significa que la compañia no pago el persimo para llevar el lugo, si se fijan no hay ningun logo en la caja ni en las instrucciones, el cual debería estar ahi. Bueno, actually es pretty simple. Solo has click en Start, ve a MY PC, has click con el botón SECUNDARIO, y metete a PROPIEDADES. Asegurate de haber conectado la camara a la entrada USB. ok? bien. En propiedades, metete al menu HARDWARE, donde aparece el boton FIRMA DE CONTROLADORES en ADMINISTRADOR DE DISPOSITIVOS, bueno, entra a esa opcion de firmas. Te aparecera una ventanita que dice, opciones de firma de controlador, elige la opcion que dice instalar el software sin pedir aprovación y aceptar. Ahora ve a administrador de dispositivos, a un lado de firma de controladores. En dispositivos de imágenes aparece que está conectada la cámara, dale click al ícono de la cam Icatch VI, y elige HABILITAR. Ahora todo loq ue tienes que hacer es volver a instalar el disco, solo el driver de preferencia, los presto no se necesitan y son una pérdida de tiempo. Durante la instalación tal vez te pida el archivo SPCA561. que nov iene en el disco, yo lo baje con BearShare, menos de un minuto. Solo continuas, si te pide otro archivo PSCA587 yo creo... escoje continuar sin ese archivo, no sirve para nada. Te indicara que la instalacion esta lista. Y es todo, espero haberlos ayudado.
Saludos desde Tijuana! Tierra de Técnicos!
Se me olvidaba, si por alguna razón perdieron el disco, pueden bajarlo en www.mi-products.com/display.cfm?id=PC%20Cameras

To those of you who want to stream your cam from a web site, here is the code. Put this code into your HTML page, and change the file name value and source value. This points the player to your computer. Happy cams!
