How connect usb-camera with dotnet or wince 4.2?

Ideally you just plug your camera into USB host on CE 4.2 device and install
camera's drivers on this device. The challenge here is what few CE devices
have USB host and even fewer USB cameras have CE drivers available. Before
you purchase this camera, please make sure your device has USB host and this
camera comes with CE drivers and software.

Ok. But how connect usb-camera (Logitech QuickCam Messenger) to iPAQ 2210? I
don't know may this iPAQ has USB host on CE 4.2? And where drivers for CE
4.2 available?
 
iPAQ 2210 is not equipped with USB host, so you can not connect USB camera
to it.

There are only few Pocket PCs with USB host available, for example Fujitsu
Siemens LOOX 720.

You might be able to find CF card with USB host.



As to drivers, that can only be available from camera manufacturer. If you
could not find them on camera's manufacturer site, this camera can not be
used with CE device.

Since it makes little sense to connect big desktop camera to Pocket PC, I
doubt very much there's USB camera with CE drivers available at all, but you
never know.



You can get device with internal camera or purchase special PPC camera in CF
or SD format.
