Re: [ACEsthetics] iPad's in operatories to show tooth images

Not to be nasty, But if your IT guy cannot figure out to make an eye-fi card work.  I would be extremely worried about the rest of your network.  Eye-fi isn't difficult.

Removing cards is unnecessary at time and will lose picture if not the whole card. I never remove my cards except for upgrades maybe once a year. 

 Old cameras may require old eye-fi  cards, which I bought along the time. My old cameras are using old cards an function fine. 

 You can't buy a brand new card and have it work in an old camera.  Eye fi people are great, but it is somewhat complex and they don't want to be responsible for the cost when there are so many variables...

I have a rebel that has the capability and had a card.  We have wireless but the IT guy never could seem to make it work so he put card readers in the front of all op computers, which was nice.  Now we have new processors with only a cheap card reader in a USB port which works, but slowly.

Michael,

 

We have also been using Eye-Fi for years.  I stopped pointing it to a directory on our server though and now point it straight to our dropbox.  That way whatever is in my hand at the time (computer, iPad, etc) I have access to it all the moment it downloads.

 

I have heard of some people having download speed issues but my speeds seem consistent with yours.  Usually by the time I am done snapping a series of shots the first 2-3 I took have already transferred.

 

I am using mine in newer Rebels.  I never could get the conversion card to work right in my older Canons (can't remember the model number right now)

Wow. Looks really interesting. I tried searching the support but couldn't find if I could send it to my Dexis software so it would be instantly in the patient's chart. I now connect the camera via a USB cable and it goes directly into the chart but the cable is a bit restricting as it can be only so long.

Nick,

I have been using  several cameras with the eye-fi. for years. I just tonight, transferred  several cameras from an failing XP pro computer to a new  windows 7.  Was I nervous? Yes,   They all transferred and work. 

 The transmitter is not as big as a dime and  batteries are not much bigger.  It does work, it won't transmit very  far.

 

I also think that older cameras may have been designed to prevent outside interference, which blocking might prevent a transmitter inside from working properly.  They were not thinking transmitters., more like preventing airport scanners from destroy images.  :)

I have two access points in addition to my wireless router in a small office, and still may carry my camera after taking pictures closer to an access point. Older cameras have to be taken close to an access point, maybe  within  even several feet.

 Most of the time the pictures are available on my server in 15 seconds, which means every computer in my office can see them it 15 seconds. Just set a shortcut to the server picts on every computer.

The cameras presently working are a Canon D 60 with conversion card, Canon Rebel 350D, with conversion card,  Canon Powershot S95 , Canon Powershot ELPh 100HS and a Canon 60-D which is programmed for the eye-fi card and propably works at the greatest distance. 

 

I never take any cards out of my cameras except for tonight when I had to program them to the new computer.

 

Eye-Fi is here and works incredibly well.

It will not work with the Canon Rebel xti 400D, or so the website indicates, and that's what I have.

There is an adaptor that you can put your camera card in: (I'll send the pictures)...amazon.com sells it pretty cheap.

Hi all,

 

Is there any way that someone knows of to take a photograph with a good intraoral camera setup (like many Canon's with a ringlight) – and then have the image or images transferred to an iPad, right there in the operatory so a patient can look at the images?

 

I used to run a good intraoral camera setup but discontinued that years ago when I switched to "flat screens" over the old cathode ray tube TV's…the images displayed poorly and a red light laser pointer would not work on a flat screen TV.  So I ditched that setup.  I went to taking intraoral photos with my Canon and then showing the patient the image on the tiny camera screen – it's no more than maybe 1 ¼ inches square.  Yes it works but it's hard to see!

 

I'm positive there are several answers to this question, I just would like to hear thoughts on it.  I would like to use iPad's but I realize I may have to get laptops or computers in the ops.  Incidentally, I HAD computers in the ops for years but we never used them.  Yes, correct, never used them!  Still used all computer scheduling etc. at the front desk.  Took all the computers out of the ops.  No – we are not yet paperless or digital x-ray, although I may have to consider digital within a year.  (That'll be a different question and from reading here, it surprises me that after 12 years + on digital x-ray, there is still far from universal agreement on the best system, the best sensors, the best company and the best product support).

 

The Canon camera came with some kind of cable connection to link to a computer…have never used it or seen it in years, I will have to look for it.  iPad's of course don't have a USB port, only the charging port, and I'm not sure if images can go "into" the iPad through that. The Canon has no wireless capability.
