Creative Webcam GO! no snapshot motion detection

Hi bascially I have downloaded the avail software from Creative downloadables
for my Creative WebCam Go!.
what i needed intially was motion detection with snapshooting capabilty until the motion ends.
but instead the Webcam Monitor provides :
- continious snapshooting after the monitor starts (endless process until user click stop monitor)
- video caption when motion is detected and for a period (in seconds) you have configured in the settings
and awaits next motion after the period ends.
So here i hope to have a combination of the 2 avail options . Which is :
- snapshooting images when motion is detected for a period of time configured . And awaits next motion after the period ends.

I have a web cam go as well and my XP PRO won't even let me install the drivers even after having it continue anyways.

  • Creative Cam software does not have motion detection???

    I installed my creative software on my computer with the webcam however it does not have the motion detection portion in it. I had another computer i used previously and that version had that option. Where do I get the version with that option in it?

    Good luck with this one. I fought with support for a while a few months ago on this one. The only solution they had was to send out thru a free email provider like bluebottle.com, to your own bluebottle.com account. They acknolodged that this is a problem, but I dont see anybody fixing the username and password authentication any time soon. You'll have to use a 3rd party program that actually uses user name and password authentication in their software. How creative expects anybody to send an email these days without authenticating first, is beyond me. MAJOR software flaw if you ask me!

  • Is there any motion detection webcam that will load with macs?

    Is there any motion detection webcam that will load with macs?  I have an imac, an ipad, and iphone.  We do not have any non-Mac computers to load a webcam system on. 

    Hi Pam,
    It's more a function of the software, see...

  • Live! Cam Voice Shuts Down When Using Motion Detection Feature

    I'm running XP Media Center 2002.
    I just installed Live! Cam Voice. Started using it and is was fine out of the box. I updated the drivers and i also decided to update the drivers for my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS.
    The problem only seemed to occur when using the Motion Detection. Shortly after using it, I'd get a Microsoft error prompting the WebCam Center to shut down.
    First I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it using the original drivers on the supplied disk. I still had the problem. So i rolled back the drivers on my sound card. That seems to have fixed the problem... Thought you'd want to know.
    To be clear the Cam driver I'm using is .0.8.206. I believe this is the one that came w/ the install disk. Hope this helps anyone else who's experienced similar problems.....

    I have the same problem. I only get 6-7 fps max. I've never seen anything above 0 fps which is a disgrace. My computer is and Athlon64 X2 4800 with 2GB RAM so it's nothing to do with spec. This behaviour was the same in driver version .0.8 as well as the latest one... .0.02 or something.
    Also, since the last driver update, the whitebalance and focus when on automatic is dreadful. I'm not impressed.

  • Creative NX Ultra and Creative WebCam Center.

    Hello. Just installed my Creative NX Ultra webcam, and it works good with msn etc, but when I run Creative WebCam Center I get this; "No supported Creative camera detected. Please plug in to continue." I have no idea what to do, I've tried reinstalling the webcam drivers and the webcam center, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Hi JKM,
    I don't have the same issues as you do, but wanted to see if we have the same camera or not, maybe help each other out even.. I'm thinking that I bought my camera a couple of years ago, but I only had it hooked up and tried it once. At that time, it seemed like it worked fine, but now the video doesn't look that great and I'm even wondering if it is the right software! I have a seperate headset. But being as I've never turned it on again after that, I've had to reinstall and not 100% sure if there is an upgrade or not for the software. So what version software do you have?
    I have version 2.03.01 and it says PC-CAM Center for the NX ultra. I says Instant Live Video chats, but being as I'm not to sure yet how to use it, I am wonderng why it tells me to "save".. I would have thought that if your using it online, why would you save it?
    At anyrate.. if you or anyone else should see this, is there a higher version for the software?
    AND, I want some advice of what to buy for working online, I need a camera for this. Am I supposed to get a new headset to match?..
    I hope someone gets back to me soon, cause I've been advised to buy another brand and I really don't want to, being as Everything else on my computer is set up for sound using Creative labs.

    Hi,
    Are you getting this error from the Webcam Control software or is this appearing in the task bar from the Wecam Detector program?
    Do you have any additional hardware installed typically a scanner or maybe a tv capture card?
    Try going into Scanners and Cameras, what do you see there?

  • Creative WebCam Notebook PD1170 max non software interpolated mode?

    MODEL:
    PD70
    PRODUCT NAME:
    Creative WebCam Notebook
    PRODUCT HOMEPAGE:
    http://www.creative.com/products/pro...53&product=629
    I brought it at the days of 2004 when the mic was yet not included in the package case.
    QUESTION:
    What is the physical hardware capability for image resolution (not software interpolated) of the PD1170 web camera to capture still images?
    FEATURES
    http://www.creative.com/products/pro...duct=629&nav=0
    capture sharp and highly-detailed video and snapshots at up to 640 x 480 resolution.
    640x480 (VGA) image sensor
    Featuring an advanced image sensor at 640 x 480 resolution, get true color reproduction and detailed videos every time you use it.
    SPECIFICATIONS
    http://www.creative.com/products/pro...oduct=629&nav=
    Highest Still Image Resolution: 640 X 480
    Highest Video Resolution: 640 X 480
    I suspect this "Highest Still Image Resolution 640x480" is "software interpolated" because the FEATURES-page uses the wording "at UP TO to 640 x 480 resolution" and by other Creative web-cameras the pictures with biggest dimensions are usually taken with software interpolation mode enabled.
    Creatives marketing seems to have taken care that different web cameras seem to be incomparable as the product webpages dont offer consistent information.
    I have limited storage space on hard disk and I want to run "Capture at regular intervals" session over a longer period of time, pointed at construction site.
    If I would know the maximum resolution mode, which is not software interpolated, then I could optimize my disk usage by taking the still image shots at the maximum physical resolution the camera actually can handle and get the best quality out of it at the minimal cost of hard disk capacity consumption.
    And then afterwards if I need pictures which would look bigger, then interpolate the taken shots manually by myself with IrfanView or Photoshop or with whatever program that can resize image.
    I assume, that running webcam with the software interpolation enabled is basically equal to what I can achieve afterwards with Photoshop or Irfanview if I make the picture dimensions bigger in previously mentioned software programs.
    Currently I have taken still image shots at regular intervals in 640*480 mode outside my window.
    The picture quality is poor, yet 640*480 images in BMP format consume huge amount of disk space (900KB each).
    I have already some tens of gigabytes saved onto HDD... ;D
    As the image quality is already poor as it is, I dont want to use JPG format, because JPG is lossy format and therefore it would make a poor image look even more poor.
    Because of the 640*480 image quality looks poor, I assume that the image quality in 640*480 by "PD1170 Creative WebCam Notebook" is alreay software interpolated and therefore it would make much more sense to make still image shots at some lower resolution such as 352x288.
    Am I correct?
    Therefore I need to know the maximum non interpolated mode. So..
    What is the physical hardware capability (not software interpolated) of the PD70 web camera to capture still images?

    the Device Manager error message reads:
    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
    Also, i followed the instructions to do a clean boot, and installed it that way (after uninstalling it first, obviously) and it still gave me an error message in the bottom corner saying there was an error installing the hardware. To clarify this, after the wizard directs me to connect the Webcam, it automatically closes, and the error message i see, i believe, is from Windows.
    To make sure i'm doing this correctly, and know what i'm talking about, i want to lay out what i've been doing. I downloaded the driver from the Creative website. I made sure that i had no existing drivers or anything on my system for this equipment. I then simply "run" the driver installation, and follow the directions until it directs me to insert the camera, at which time the wizard closes, and i get the error message.

  • * JMF PlugIn Effect/Codec Filter for Motion Detection : Source Example *

    I have noticed some posts on here recently about reading a webcam�s pixel stream and as at least one example the processing of that data for robotics, or another for motion detection or tracking.
    This can mean a requirement for fast frame processing, setting the datasource framerate, and to implement as easily as possible; eg a simple JMF effect or codec plugin to set on the processor.
    I have a link as follows to some source and examples for such plugin effects, and some of you may find this interesting if not also useful.
    See an updated http://www.exactfutures.com/index02.htm for the new download. Enjoy.

  • Pvc2300: false positive with motion detection

    Hello!
    I bought 3 pvc 2300 cameras. I tried motion detection with camera's software and with "Active webcam" software and I received a lot of false positive mails.
    1. with camera's software, I set event with motion detection & sent mail, but I receive a lot of mail when there isn't motion (I saw registrations and images)
    2. with Active WebCam software I use Linksys cameras and Panasonic Cameras. With Panasonic cameras all is ok. With Linksys cameras, about every hours there is a black frame, so I receive a mail from motion detection. Black frame arrive about every hours, after 60 minutes from last black frame. That is very strange!
    I changed sensitivity, check frequency, number of frame at second, but I have same problem.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks
    Mary

    I have 2 Panasonic cameras too and I need one software to manage all cameras.
    sensitivity: on active webcam software, I changed sensitivity of motion detection
    frequency check: on active webcam software, I changed from check motion every 0,1 second to every 5 seconds
    number of frame: on Linksys software I changed Max Frame Rate from 15 fps to 6 fps.

  • WVC54GCA motion detection in utility setup not working

    After reading this answer that basically says that if you use the web-based advanced setup for motion detection, your recording is limited to only 5 sec., I disabled motion detection in the web GUI, and decided to setup motion detection in the utiity setup windows.
    I can't make it work correctly:  I have firmware V1.00R24:
    This is what I do: I check Enable Motion Detection Recording in the Network Camera screen. In Preferences, I set the Recording Path, set 10 secs Motion Detection record before and after motion detection.  I have 15 GB of available disk space.
    Under Recording Schedule, if I set a schedule, say, daily from 7am to 7:30am (or any other interval), it will record for the whole duration independently of any movement or lack of movement in the field.  If I don't set a recording schedule, it won't record anything.
    I am not interested in triggering emails or FTPs, which apparently can be done only with the Web GUI anyway.  I just want to record 10 secs before and after every instance of detected movement.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    Well, I am still struggling with this motion detection.
    @Carrot: Linksys seems to say that the 5 second limitation is only for the web-based setup, which I didn't use. If you read this answer from their knowledge base, you will see they recommend using the utility to obtain longer recording times.  In any case, when I follow their recommendation, I don't even get 5 seconds.  The only thing that gets recorded are the intervals I specify in Recording Schedule, and then it records everything, motion or no motion.  Without entering a recording schedule, nothing gets recorded.
    In any case, if you have any specific third party software in mind that would do a better job with motion detection, please let me know.  I have been using successfully YawCam, which works with USB webcams, but I haven't found a way to make it work with this IP camera.
    I may endup using my own video software (using avisynth) to detect movement from full recordings.

  • Emailing motion detection

    I've been trying to find out why I can't get an email message sent to me with the motion detection settings. This message shows someone else is haveing the same problem as me.
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=cameras&message.id=600&query.id=4 0#M600
    But I also noticed in the help that emailing the first frame "is only available if you installed Microsoft Windows Messaging with Internet Mail on your computer". What is this and where do I get it's I can't find any info on it on the internet.

    But I dont want software , I want to use the internet camera as it should be used, as a standalone camera.

  • Motion detection software for isight?

    Is anyone aware of any motion detection software for isight? I know that creative has some for their "orb" though it's not compatible with Mac OS X. Is iSight even capable of the task? Thanks for any input!

    I do have the Boinx software but I am guessing that your are looking for a sensor sim and not a recording software...Am I right? If so, I am still looking for the same thing. I want the camera to trigger actions in a software and perhaps snap pictures for an application.
    I know this is all possible because its all been done. Can anyone suggest where should I start in order to learn how to program these things?
    Thanks.

  • Motion Detection

    Hey guys im having trouble with the motion detection feature of the software program that came with my cam. i cant seem to get it to e-mail me the first frame. i out in every thing it asks for but it still fails to send out an e-mail. can somebody who got it to work walk me thru it step by step?

    I have the Creative Live! Wireless I finally got motion detection to work by NOT filling in the field that asks for the POP3 Server infomation. Just fill in the field for the SMTP, the email account password, and the email addresses. When I had the POP3 Server field filled in motion detection did not work. Once I cleared that field it started working.

    When you enable the Motion Detection settings on your Camera you need to Input the Email settings on your Camera.... You can change / Enable the Motion Detection settings on you Camera by Web UI or by the Camera Utility...
    Click Here how to enable the Motion Detection Settings on your camera by Web UI...
    Open the Camera utility on your Computer and in that you need to select the Option "Motion Detection" and then you can enable the Motion Detection on your Camera...
