    I have an IP security webcam at home that I can view on a PC and some people with a Mogul can view the live motion as well.

    However, I have a Moto Q 9c that will only allow me to view the static images, not the live motion.

    When I enter the normal web address for the camera, (i.e. leaving off the "/mobile" at the end, I get the camera controls and what appears to be a bunch of empty frames but no picture. Entering the "/mobile" gets me to the static image.

    If anyone has any idea as to why and what I need to do (or download) to make it work, I sure would appreciate your sending them to me.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    probably deals with either java or javascript. I would say most likely java, basically you need a mobile java runtime installed on your phone. If you were to be able to tell me what type of camera it is I can probably find the rest out.

    Thanks nKrypteD1.

    It's a Panasonic IP Webcam (BLC 30). Works great. Panasonic provides the server. I have it set to use port 50000. I can get the static image on the Sprint Q9c is I add the "/mobile" extension to the url but not full motion.

    A neighbor with a Sprint Mogul can get it though. No Verizon phones can get either but I suspect that's a Verizon thing.

    I was just curious if there's an add on for Windows Mobile Standard that would allow it to access the streaming video feature.

    Have you tried accessing the URL through Windows Media Player? Some hacking to find the correct URL for the streaming video may be required.

    Thanks Blue - I haven't (didn't know that was doable). I'll give it a shot and see what happens if I can figure out how to go about it.

    I may have found the answer: ViewCommander by Internet Video and Imaging Inc. According to their information, once downloaded, installed, and configured on a Smartphone, it allows viewing of webcams. Their customer support person was very informative and responsive and provided a link to a trial application. I'll give it a shot and see if it resolves my issue.

    Here's a link if anyone is interested: ViewCommander - View Network IP Cameras with Window's Mobile Smartphones & Pocket PC's and BlackBerry phones.
