摘要

An apparatus (10) and method for obtaining real-time video data and broadcasting it to a remote PC (13) or other mobile computing device upon request by a user. The transmitting unit (10) uses the cellular transmission network (18) to transmit video data at high speeds and is a self-contained, autonomous unit of relatively small size.
