macalanche Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 [quote name="hasher13"]Well, this is my goal! I want to free up my old HP Jorando 565 by getting a new PPC and phone combo. I would like to install a few wired or wireless cames in my truck in hidden spots and have the PPC stored in a well or so with constant power and retrieving images from the cameras. At this point I would settle with the images being captured to be stored on the PPC 2 gig compact flash card, but I would prefer using my old cell phone and create a data connection to the PPC to be able to upload to my in house server or to be able to view live video via my new PPC and phone combo!! Does anyone know how or if this is possible and have any suggestions on how to do it. If so please send my way!! Thanks alot!![/quote] There are many ways to do what you want to do but I would start at the [url=http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=71">http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=71 forum and look around for ideas. I also put a bunch of links to helpful sites on the Avalanche forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hasher13 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 one idea was to wire my car adapter for the PPC to a free DC plug in my truck and have it on all times, but you are right, that might be too much of a strain on the car bat. I am just not sure of how I am able to have one or multiple wired or wifi cameras connected to the PPC. It is one of the original HP PPC with no internal connections built in, (i.e. wifi). I would hace to puchase a Compact flash adapter if I want to add WiFI to it. But if I do that, I how can I connect the cameras to the PPC and then eventually have them sent via internet to a remote locations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macalanche Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Sorry, when I see ppc I think you mean the Apple Power PC(PPC). I don’t know enough about the HP PPC to help you but you can probably find a suitable DC converter at [url=http://www.mp3car.com">www.mp3car.com and as far as cameras go there are several WiFi cameras available out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
