Use camera phone as Wireless webcam - WWIGO software

Use your camera phone as Wireless Webcam with WWIGO

Submitted by Chetan on Monday, 29 September 200811 Comments

Not every laptop has a camera, so you at least would have a camera phone along with you when you are on a tour, or in some business meet, or just far away from your home for studies. Because you can now use your camera phone as a webcam and connect it live with your laptop or PC if at home.

wwigo is the software that transmits information between the mobile phone and laptop through bluetooth, and streams the video from phone to PC, and then the component at PC receives the video and broadcasts it.

What you can do with wwigo -

Use the camera phone as a wireless webcam.
Use it with Youtube to share videos and upload them.
Use with Skype, Yahoo! messenger etc. for live video chatting.

Supported devices Nokia Series 60 v2.0 and Series 60 v3.0 phones ( see devices in download page)

You should have bluetooth enabled in your laptop through any software like BlueSoleil etc. and it comes only for Windows(ah, Macs have webcam’s already in them).

The download page shows most of the Nokia N-series phones which are supported, and several other mobile phones of Nokia with which the software can run well.

Download the wwigo software from here. You just have to select the model and proceed with the download.

Varun,

The picture quality might be surely depending on the cam quality of the mobile.. 2 MP cams would be better than the VGA ones.

Thanks @ Guttu and TechnoSamrat, link edited.

@ Varun, as Anand said, the picture quality is said to be nearly equal to what the phone produces normally.

Its wonderful. Its running with my Nokia 6630. It could be more better if there could be cam monitor picture adjustments in the software.Sometimes discoonects but still bearable.
