WWIGO: Nokia mobile as a wireless web cam

wwigo-nokia-mobile-as-a-wireless-web-cam

Today I discovered a very cool free Series60 application ‘WWIGO (Webcam Wherever I Go) by Motvik’ which allows you to use your mobile phone as a wireless web camera over Bluetooth with your PC.

A screen shot image taken from MSN messenger using my N95 as a web cam:

The video is of a quality of 176 x 144 from the N95 using this software, but the quality doesn’t seem to be that far off from my usual webcam. It’s certainly worth sacrificing that little bit of quality for the excellent mobility though in my opinion.

For me it ran just about as fast as any other standard webcam, given that the phone was within a certain range of course.

I did have a few issues with getting the software to work properly with MSN messenger, but after reconnecting once or twice on the phone I managed to get it going ok.

Anyhoo its a cool app to mess around with if you have an N95 or another compatible series60 phone.

To grab it go to: WWIGO - you’ll need to register a free account before you can download it.

The app for your phone is bundled with the installation.
There are other alternative webcam apps out there for S60 Nokia mobile phones. ones which work over Wifi, Bluetooth and USB…

The application is supported by all Nokia S60 v2.0 & 3.0 mobiles.
