What is BrightCam? |
 | |
 |
|
|
 | |
BrightCam sets your Treo/Centro preferences (screen brightness, keyboard backlight, indicator, tone volume) depending on the luminosity and the loudness of the surroundings.
BrightCam mesure la luminosité et le bruit afin d'ajuster automatiquement la configuration de votre Treo/Centro (luminosité de l'écran, éclairage du clavier, indicateur, volume de sonnerie).
Mediante el uso del sensor de luz presente en la lente de la cámara por defecto, BrightCam modificará automáticamente el brillo de la pantalla según el nivel de luz ambiental y, si es necesario, activará o desactivará la retroiluminación del teclado.

The light levels measured by the camera may change depending on the camera type of your Treo 600. BrightCam remembers the biggest and the lowest values received by the camera to adjust the brightness properly. If you want a fast range analisys, press the button while facing the sky and another time with the camera hidden by your finger. |

This button will read the current light level measure by the camera and will show it on top of the slider. It is only useful for testing purpose if you want to check the light level in different situations. |

BrightCam will adjust the brightness when you power on the Treo 600. If the continuous option is set, the brightness will be adjusted when you switch from an application to another if the light conditions have changed, or every 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 seconds. You need a registration key to enable the continuous option for every 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 seconds. |

 | |
BrightCam can turn off the blinking indicator in you room during the night. If this option is enabled, BrightCam will disable the blinking indicator when a dim lighting condition is measured. |
| |
|
| |
|
 | |
When the option is enabled, you can choose if you want BrightCam to enable or disable the LCD automatic dimming after 15 seconds feature of the Treo 600, and if you want to keep the keyboard automatic off when a dim lighting condition is detected. If you need to adjust the keyboard backlight, a popup trigger allows you to adjust the darkness sensitivity from Thin to Thick. |

You may have configured your Treo 600 with a tone volume when you receive a call. When your Treo 600 is in your pocket, can you hear the phone ringing? When a dim lighting condition is detected and you receive a call, BrightCam will adjust the tone to the maximum value possible. You can set this feature for phone calls, incoming MMS or SMS. |
| |
|
 | |
By default, the previous option will work all the time. If you want the feature to be enabled for a configured part of the day, you can press the button to select a time range. The button will reflect your configuration. |
| |
|
 | |
You might not want the Treo 600 to ring during an important appointment: BrightCam can manage this for you! When creating a calendar entry, anywhere in the description or in the note, add the keyword !BCx! where x is a digit from 0 (no sound) to 7 (louder volume). This feature requires a PIM application that is compatible with the standard calendar database (DatebookDB). |

 | |
BrightCam can measure the noise level and adjust the tone volume when the noise level is above a defined threshold. You can use the slider to define your threshold and press the above picture to measure and update the current noise level. |
