Use your PS3 as remote surveillance camera

HowTo: Use the remote play functionality to remotely control your room!
All you need is:

- PS3 With 2.0+Firmware
- PSP With 3.72+ (or modified 3.71M33) Firmware
- Playstation Eye

Place your PSEye in the room that you want to check.
Once outside your house, use the Remote Play functionality to access the PS3 XMB (With the 2.0 firmware the Playstation 3 will turn on automatically).
Go to "Friends", and then "Create a new Chat room", when the interface has loaded, click on the 2nd icon from the right (setting), and then activate your camera!
You are now able to see what your Playstation Eye can see :P

translate please

[TruthbeTold]

What's the range though i wonder? If you can't go any further than right outside your house, then it's nothing more than a cool idea without much real world relevance. If on the other hand, you can do this from across town, then this is quite impressive.

[Rockstar]

You can do this from anywhere in the world that has wireless.

[Darkiewonder]

It could have been a bit further. I still see somethings you can do with it now :x

[xplosneer]

Wireless USB hub? Pricey though.....

[Darkiewonder]

Wait, i know the ps3 supports other USB Compliant Camera. but does it NEED to be a psEye? Oh well. i'll wait.

My idea was you know, but a USB Cable Extender. reach it from one place to the bathroom lawlz.

[xplosneer]

I know Eye Toy works as well but it's very fuzzy ;)
No it's doesn't have to be an Eye or EyeToy others work as well.

[remix]

im getting a psp now.................SERIOUSLY.

so i could be across the country and have my psp and turn my ps3 on and then i could see whats going on. thats freakin cool as hell.

i guess this update was bigger then i thought

[xplosneer]

Ever since they added Remote play this has been there....Just not widely known....

[TheHater]

That sweet. I will test this out as soon as I have a Playstation Eye

[tomfoolery]

.

[solidt12]

I was wondering if you could do this. Somebody is going to get busted on the next episode of cheaters via PSP and PS3 Remote Play. Ha Ha

[TheHater]

That will be so F*** up. But it will be funny as hell.

[KidMakeshift]

And now, you too can catch your room mate masturbating

[TheHater]

That gross and wrong

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

just...wow

[ultraviolentz]

no, thats probably the coolest thing ever, the perfect party tape

[borntodie007]

[EZCheez]

I had a PSP but I gave it to my brother-in-law while he was in Iraq. I am buying another one NOW. I can't wait to try this out.

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

It went to a noble cause, man.

Hey, we need to play some COD4 soon.

Yeah, this is JacobIsHollywood from the network. I'm just using a different name on here right now than LeonSKennedy4Life.

[Shinro]

[macalatus]

Now you can also see if there are "ghosts" in your house or it is just your sneaky little brother as the one pulling the pranks!

[vaan]

This is great.

[rushbd]

you are at work. suddenly you see in N4g that killzone 2 demo is up. so you use your PSP to remotely turn you PS3(which is in your bedroom) on and set up the download. than you tell yourself to check the current condition of your bedroom . and when you put up the video chat, you see your wife...naked....with your best work buddy (who btw didnt come to work because of being sick ) :D :D

imagine the possibilities lol

[Skerj]

I'll have the PS3 talk to the 360 to burn both of their asses up then. That's teamwork!!

[Agente47]

If the Killzone2 demo is out, who cares about the wife??

[pabadamus1]

That is some funny s**t. Burn their asses up!!

[Ace-Jury]

might leave some porn lying around and see if my girlfriend takes the "bate"

[Relientk77]
