SmartCam, Turn your Nokia 5800 into a Webcam!

Here's another awesome freeware application for today!!

SmartCam, comes bundled with a client for your PC and your Nokia S60v5 phone.

Steps to get it running:
  1. Install SmartCam_v1_3.exe on your PC.
  2. Install SmartCamS60v5_v1.3.sisx on your phone.
  3. Startup SmartCam on your PC and go to File>Settings to make sure that the TCP/IP (Wifi) option is checked. Then keep the client running and proceed to the next step.
  4. Start SmartCam on your phone and go to Options>Connect where it will ask you for your server name. Here you will need to type in your PC's IP address. For most people it will be in the order of 192.168.X.XXX (You will be able to get the IP from your router settings).
  5. That's it, your webcam should be up and running now!
Note: The bluetooth option does not work for now. You can fiddle around with it at your own risk, when I tried it froze my phone!

Also, you can use this webcam feature for multiple applications such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM etc, just make sure you change your device to SmartCam in each of these chat messengers.

Download here.

  6. pzicho: It clearly says in the instructions that bluetooth doesn't work.


    IP address is obtained on your windows pc's Start>Run type CMD and in the black window type in ipconfig this will give you a few lines and the one that says IP Address..... 192.bla.bla.bla is what you're looking for.

  15. the "certificate expired" error you get is because you don't have hacked your phone, so the non-official application is refused by your phone's security system.
    Hack your phone (it's easy, just google "hack 5800"), or get a certification hack app.
