How can I use N900 Front Cam?

There is a front web cam in n900. How can I make use of it/activate it? I tried my best, there seem to be no option for me to choose the front cam. What about I want to make 3G video call just like anyother 3G phone?

As the authour of healthcheck i'd like to echo the "Early adopters" comment.
Not only is the OS still new, the device is the first of it's type.
It may not have everything built in straight away but the possibilities really are great.
I had never coded until 20'th feb (For the N900/Maemo, Python or QT), and 20 days later my first version was in maemo downloads.
Things do take time, and the only reason healthcheck came about was because two us decided we needed a noob (New Person) friendly system checker. I even made a brainstorm for this idea to get it going. Lots of people added opinions - so i just got on with it
The front camera never really had a defined purpose, but it was added ... a bonus i say.....
As PR 1.2 Draws closer - you never know there may be added funtionality with it!
All i can say is, instead of fussing, turn your effort into describing exactly what you want, speak to sopme developers and see where you go - if you really do want something, then the chances are you can work to getting it done reasonably quickly!
And being linux based, the chances are if you can alreadydo it in terminal, and app to do it will be very easy also! (Gstreamer is pretty effective when used effectivly!)

You can't.. it is terrible..
the only app that really uses it is mirror
Open this link on your phone to install mirror
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/raw/Maemo5/mirror?get_installfile
the camera firmware is bad, so the image quality is truely terrible.. play with mirror to see.. it may be fixed in a future firmware release (it *IS* better than it was.. the firmware last year had a line through the picture!)

How can I use a USB camera with cRIO 9022. Please see my strange problem.

Hi,
I would like to use a USB camera with NI cRIO 9022. I used the same USB camera with NI USB 6216 DAQ device and developed a VI(within a PROJECT and outside it). So, It is working fine with NI USB 6216 device when I use the Vision Assistant Express VI and gets detected in its Initialization Window. Please see JPEG File 3 where I get NO ERROR.
I am facing a problem when I want to use it with NI cRIO 9022. What exactly I am doing in this case is:
1) Create a NEW PROJECT
2) Add Targets and Devices(NI cRIO 9022)
3) Use the Scan Interface mode
4) Create a NEW VI under the cRIO 9022 device
5) Use a Timed Loop(Synchronized with Scan Engine) for continuous Data Acquisition and Sending from the Analog I/O modules.
6) Use the Vision Assistant available through the NI Vision Acquisition 2010 Module(I get STUCK HERE! The Express VI opens the Initialization Window, but I don't see the USB camera like in JPEG File 3)
I am facing difficulties with this HOST COMPUTER, cRIO implementation differences. On my host computer I have the software packages as shown in JPEG File 1, and on my cRIO 9022 as shown in JPEG File 2.
Can someone guide me how to overcome this and get the USB camera detected when I am using NI cRIO 9022?
NOTE: If this is a problem with software mismatches on HOST and NI cRIO 9022 device, please see JPEG Files 1 and 2 for available software and Host and cRIO 9022.
Thanks.
Amar.

How can I use the Flame camera as a PC webcam?

Hi, I've got an old PC with Arch Linux and LXDE installed. I also own a Flame device with latest version of Firefox OS Nightly.
I don't own a webcam on my PC to use with such programs as Firefox Loop (I've installed mozilla-nightly from AUR), appear.in, Skype (brrr...) and so on.
I link my Flame on my PC but only SD card and internal memory are recognized by default. How can I recognize the camera too in order to use it with my PC?
Thank you!

Even if I'm not a coder, I don't think that the answer is an app but to work on a inner layer, in order to make this working out-of-the-box.
I need that Linux, Windows, Mac and so on recognize the Firefox OS camera when I link it to the PC, not to stream remotely, like Android does (e.g. via Droidcam, IP Webcam or IP Camera Adapter).
Am I asking something useful that will make Firefox OS a better OS than Android or am I asking something useless or unrealizable and the only way to do is to create an app or to port other listed above?
Thank you

How can i use a digital camera as webcam?

the iSight camera *****. I have a 12mp canon digital camera, can i use that in lieu of iSight to use in iChat and Facetime?
if so, what's the procedure? i have a macbookpro on snowleopard 10.6.8

Hi,
The External iSight camera has a 640 X 480 pixel picture as do the early internal ones.
Later versions of the iSight camera have 1.3mp resolutions and the latest are HD.
However iChat only sends a max size or 640 X 480 picture and that is dependent on your Processor and Internet Speed. (And to some extent that of your Buddies)
Using a Stills camera was a web cam can present some problems.
It is mainly about what input the computer accepts and what the camera has as output.
I have an older Kodak DC4800
In addition to the USB Output for transferring pics it has a RCA pin type socket that output TV signals which the camera software can change between NTSC and PAL.
I then used a DV Converter to input that over FireWire to the computer.
For iChat this had to be converted to DV as it only accepts DV or certain USB web cam formats that the Mac then converts for iChat (effectively it digitizes the pic).
My camera did not take Video it just had the Ability to output what the camera saw - basically you could use a TV as a super sized Viewfinder.
If the camera you have has FireWire and it can do video then you maybe in luck (It will still depend if the Video format is DV (not mpeg, not HDV or any other format such as AVI)
If the Video it may do can be sent of USB that will need to be USB 2.0
Again the format will need to be the type that iChat uses (or the OS software converts).
For most Stills cameras this is impossible.

How can I use multiple front panel controls to be mirrors of each other?

Hi All:
I know this is going to be a strange question, but I have multiple inputs that control one output. This in itself not necessarily difficult, but I have a strange need. If one of the control inputs change I would like this to be indicated by the other controls. For example, I have a slider, numeric and dial controls on the front panel that control RPM. If the slider changes to 1000 RPM I would like the numeric and dial controls to see that change. Is this possible. If so, can you give me advice on doing this. I am using 7.1. Thanks for the help.
John Honnold

What you want is not that hard, but asked for a rather limited times.
Here's a how to:
Drop a slider
Right click Visible items-> Digital display
Right click on the slider Advanced-> Customize
Right click on the Digital display Replace select the control you want to replace it with (a gauge for instance)
Right click on the Gauge Visible items -> Digital Display
Now you have one control with three control options:
This was done in 8.2 but I think the same goes for 7.1

How can I use the specific camera's audios in Multicam?

Hello, I am fairly new to PremPro and I am trying to put together a multicam piece.
The piece is me and my friend playing a game, he recorded his screen and game audio and I did the same.
Camera1 - My Angle & Audio
Camera2 - My friends Angle & Audio
The main issue im having is that I cant get the audio for the specific angle to play ONLY when that angle is up.
I tried a few ways but I couldn't get it.
EG. This is without changing any settings, just making the multicam sequence then switching angles in multicam window.
My angle is up and I hear my audio, when I switch to my friends angle, I can only here my audio and not his.
EG. This is enabling the sound on both videos before adding to new sequence.
When any angle is up I hear both audios.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any Ideas anyone?
please...

How to test N900 front camera without 3G sim or to...

I just brought a brand new N900 device & haven't tested the front camera, I not have 3G sim card & also wants to know if possible to take pictures with front camera, thanks.

You can't use the front camera for taking photos yet.
to Test it, you can use an application called 'Mirror' that is available from the extras repository in the app manager or bu following this link on your N900 http://maemo.org/downloads/product/raw/Maemo5/mirror/?get_installfile
I believe the only other app to support the front camera is Skype, but you need PR 1.2 for that to work with the camera

HOW TO USE THE FRONT CAMERA

hi all any possible way to use the front camera in n900, coz i cant see any option for the front cam and for basic camera any option for night vision when shooting ? Thx
Solved!

It beggers belief as to why have a camera on the front if you cant use it.
Because people would probably have complained if it didn't have one at all
At the end of the day, the issue here is only software. The hardware is already in place.
You can't easily add hardware to something afterwards without a complete redesign
It reminds me of the old Nokia 6630. It supported video calling but had no front camera.
You either had to use the back camera or buy a separate stand to sit the phone in that had a forward facing camera on

How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
Thanks

Simple question with a not so simple answer.
(a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations. Digital video is processor intensive. The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it. If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus. You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
(b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
(1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
(2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
(3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
(If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
(4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
(5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo. For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck
