IP camera using BT FON - can it work?

I would like to be able to monitor a property I own when I am not there. There is no landline in the property but I am able to access the BT FON service hosted by a friendly next door neighbour, who is a BT Broadband customer, as am I.
I'm thinking of an IP camera that could connect to the BT FON service and transmit images (or send emails with images attached) at predefined intervals, or if movement is detected. This would do as a basic service, but more features would be nice! If I could persuade the neighbour to add port forwarding to his router would this help?
Any information on this complex sibject much appreciated and I will happily share my implementation experiences if I get that far!
Solved!

I would imagine you would find it impossible, unless the camera has the ability to provide the login details, and also logout at the end of the session.
It would need to have some form of scripting language, similar to the way the BT Wifi app works.
You might be able to do it if the camera was connected to a dedicated PC, which would need to be on all of the time.
It would still need some form of reliable scripting language to work properly.
Its not really what BT Wifi is intended for. A much better idea would be to use a 3G MiFi adapter, like the Zoom 4506, which takes a standard 3G mobile dongle.
Provide the device is in a 3G area, or 2G if you are not worried about speed, then you can connect the IP camera to it, and it will simply transmit when needed.
I have on of those devices, with a "Three" mobile dongle/SIM, which I use on holiday.
You just need to remember to top it up once a month.

Can anyone tell me why I can't update my itunes on my p.c? I get a message saying: the feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.   Tried uploading from websit, get msg can't delete old version.

I need some serious help!
I have been trying to update my itunes to version 10.7 and my Quicktime to version 7.7.3!
Having no luck!
So I tried selecting repair software on all of the Apple applications and they seem to have worked.
Then I selected look for upgrades on my itunes (Help) main screen
It said their were two updates -   Itunes 10.7   and Quicktime 7.7.3
I selected the option to update and the .exe files were loaded to my Windows 7 p.c.
However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
O.k.
I then went to the itunes website and tried again. This time it checked my system the process seemed to be working and all of a sudden I got a message saying my old itunes programs could not be removed and or deleted. So I tried to delete my old version myself without success it won't let me.
I've run out of options and am not completely fustrated.
I have itunes on my desktop, my iphone4, my ipod and in my car.
Anyone have any clue how I can resolve this problem?

Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

I have a 10.2.8 os. I had opened up the AOL logo on the bottom bar. Two aol boxes came up. I can get them to go away for a short time and then they come back. I have not used AOL for 6 years. How can I get the boxes to go away?

I have a 10.2.8 os on a G4 desktop. A week ago I clicked on the AOL icon in the bottom bar. I have not used AOL for six years. Two aol boxes came up. I can not get the boxes to go away for long. They may go away for 15 minutes and they come back while I am working. How can I get these aol boxes to go away?
I will be upgading to Tiger; 10.4.

Right click on the AOL icon and select move to trash.

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I. We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat. I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3. What am I missing?

HI,
iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login. (where people can Google Chat as it were in a Web Browser).
Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
More on this here This article has been changed several time in the recent months. It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.

Why when using yahoo msg can my friends veiw my cam but i can't veiw theirs

when i first got my mac a few months ago it worked i could veiw there cams and they could veiw mine well it only worked for about a week. now they can veiw my cam but i can't veiw theirs.

I've noticed yahoo! has gotten very political lately on their home site. I've personally switched to google but still have yahoo mail.
as far as web cams go you can find a lot of cam networks by searching in google.
you could also use ichat av.
is what you are talking about like a cam network where people can chat with others over their camera?

<Email Edited by Host>

What else is there? There's Siri, A5 chip, 8MP camera, intelligent switching between antennas. Those are the only new things in the 4S. Like I said, if Siri was on the 4, fewer would buy the 4S. Second, the 4 is discontinued to make room for the 4S, so there will be no updates exclusively for the 4. Third, I never trust any reports on the Internet unless it comes directly from the company (in this case, Apple).

HT4757 Can the digital camera RAW compatibility update 3.13 work for iPad?

Trying to transfer photos from my Nikon 3200 to iPad using the camera kit. Can the digital camera RAW compatibility 3.13 update work for iPad? Attempts to download it directly to iPad sends it to Evernote and then message comes up that synchronization failed. Not a tech geek by any means so if you can help, please explain as simply as possible. Thanks much.

45 views and no replies? Isn't there anyone that can answer if I need this update or not or is my question not clear? Does anyone else have a similar question relating to the Digital Camera Raw compatibility update 3.11?

No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help, thanks.

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help? thanks

Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
Release the reset.
Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
This is version 5.
Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots.

As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
In Pages (or Numbers)
- we can't sort a single column
- we can't sort by row
- we can't insert or remove a single cell
- a cell can't cross pages boundaries

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

We recently updated to Lion, prior to this update we could plug in our Sony Mini DV camera using the appropriate firewire and the iMovie would recognize the camera. This function no longer works after the update to Lion. Any suggestions?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

I have a mac 10.6 system when using firefox, I can no longer open attachments or downloads. I deleted firefox and reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

When using firefox, I can no longer open attachments, pdf or downloads. A new window will open and it is blank. The only way to open an attachment or pdf is to shut down firefox and use safari. Everything works with safari so I can't understand what went wrong with firefox. I even download adobe reader thinking that would help. I then deleted my original firefox and re downloaded firefox again. It still doesn't work.
I am using a 10.6 operating system on my Mac.

Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
