Another Free App Turns Your Phone into a Wireless Webcam
28 08 2007SmartCam is an application that runs on your phone and your PC, linking them so that the video captured by your mobile is transmitted to you PC for recording or video conferencing.
I previously blogged about Wwigo, a free application which turns the camera in your Nokia mobile phone into a Bluetooth wireless webcam, and for the time being, SmartCam is also restricted to Nokia S60v3.0 handsets. However, a J2ME (mobile Java) version is anticipated for the near future, which should allow hundreds of other handsets to also extend their functionality this way.
Best of all, SmartCam is a free and open source application, so (unlike Wwigo) there is no watermarking of your video footage, and no proprietary restrictions. Definitely worth downloading and trying!

Or buy Mobiola Web Camera and use it with USB cable or Bluetooth radio.
Yeah, Mobiola is pretty good, but unfortunately it isn’t free.
That can be an important consideration in education, particularly when you’re trying to outfit a class of 30!
