The Inspiron One 2320 has staring price of $950 will get you a Core i5-2400S CPU and 6GB of RAM, but if you’ve got an extra $450 lying around you can step up to a Core i7-2600S processor with 8GB of memory.

Prerequesite:

1. A computer installing Linux and with WIFI available, the faster, the better. My laptop has Kubuntu 10.04, 64-bit installed and its CPU is i330, 2.13GHz. I tried QP win version and smartphone but failed. After searching on the web, it is said that the ffmepg of opencv has some problem on windows, so win version has no such function.
2. I compiled OPENCV with my configuration, including options of TBB for multi-core and FFMPEG for video processing and so on. I also installed those libraries.
3. A smartphone with IpWebcam or similar installed. I am using an Android phone. IpWebcam can make it as a stream server which changes the video taken by its camera into a motion jpeg stream and send out. I don’t have an IPhone but I think there must be some similar apps in APPStore, so IPhone should be OK with the corresponding apps.
Now, I do the following steps to change the phone into a non-touch wireless webcam.

Steps:

1. Connecting the phone and the PC by WIFI. I’ve tried two methods, one is using the phone as an AP and PC to connect it; the other is using a wireless router as an AP and connecting the phone and the PC to the router by WIFI. Both are OK.
2. Running IpWebcam on the phone to start the video strem server.
3. Running QP on PC with server address as a parameter. Then QP can receive the video stream and process it. Now I can use it as a wireless mouse to control the cursor.
