4. How to WiFi Mode? |
|
a) First of all, your android device must be joined in your local (home or
office) network, and android device should be accessble from remote android or
remote computers. |
|
b) Start an android as Camera Mode, the camera device network information would
be appeared on the top of the application. And this information would be used
for remote application. |
|
c) Start another device as Remote Mode (or Desktop Application), then enter the
camera device network information to the remote mode application. |
|
d) Or, if your remote device (or computer) has bluetooth radio, then you can
retrieve camera device's network information after bluetooth mode has been
connected. Just use Retrieve from Camera function from remote applications. |
|
e) Now you can connect remote android camera by using WiFi mode, and all the
application functions would work as same as bluetooth mode do. |
|
|
5. How to Bluetooth Mode? (read before, Very Important) |
a) Microsoft Bluetooth Stack is required.
Most branded notebook or bluetooth dongles are using (installed) the Bluetooth Stack for Windows by
Toshiba. And if your PC are using this stack, Camera Remote PC will not work as
designed and will show the "invalid (not supported) bluetooth stack" error
message when application is starting. Application is based on the Microsoft
provided Bluetooth Stack, and should be enabled it. |
b) How to enable Microsoft Bluetooth Stack.
First of all, please make sure you have "Restore Point" on PC and/or original
Bluetooth Driver installation files. So that in the case of failure, you can
backup to the previous bluetooth driver installations.
* Go to "Program and Features" at the control panel, find and uninstall
"Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba". This action will remove all the other
associated sub application with it.
* If your OS is the latest Windows 7, then Microsoft Bluetooth Stack will be
automatically downloaded from Windows Update site and it will be installed at no
time. Check at the Systems - Device Manager if "Bluetooth Radios" is listed and
active on the device list, the driver name is "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator".
* For the manuall bluetooth driver update, go to Control Panel >> Systems >>
Device Manage. And refresh the device list by "Scan for hardware changes".
Windows would be check and update bluetooth driver for you. If no auto update is
enabled, you should do Windows Update manually.
* You can also search Google for the "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator Driver" for
more help. |
