Do you think a mobile Networked Video Surveillance is a useful device in Ambulance, Bus or car?
Mobile networked Video Surveillance System for Ambulances and buses and cars is going to be necessary in near future.

Yes, it will be an area of integration for cities with metro wide CCTV systems in place, for school and metro buses it will be for internal security, for ambulances, parking violation enforcement vehicles and patrol cars it will be LPR, which can integrate GPS. if an Amber Alerts is issued these systems can pull in data that has been collected and give coordinates for the vehicle last known place,

mobile video surveillance is an expanding area but the main issue I think is streaming speed. It is probably not good enough if the viewer can only see a "slide show".

Yes, mobile solutions have proven to be valuable on businesses and of course in police cars. I can see the value in Ambulance, but in private automobiles I just do not see the value until we can reduce the cost of mobile units. But then comes the problem with privacy issues when installing them in private vehicles. March Networks has done a pretty good job lately in this market, and also have light rail and freight train products, which have been extremely valuable to the train companies.

thinking a little outside of the box, Sprint has one of the faster networks for data, EVDO. I'm still not convinced it's that great, but you can stream 2-3fps depending on file size. With that said, a mobile unit that can take advantage of the cell system where EVDO or comparable network is in place and has good coverage, and can sniff for lost connections to self-heal, has a very high value and market for school systems, as well as municipal and law enfocement. Video can be transmitted with minimal latency (defined as 2-8 seconds over a cell system) to central offices. The networks will only get better, adding to the value of the system.

Mattew Huskins and I live in Tornado Alley, and we are already seeing this technology in action with the new stations where the storm chasers are sending live video at 5-8fps over satellite to the news stations for live broadcast. The company that designed and supplies this equipment has developed the same capabilitys over the EVDO network.

The mobile Telemed applications are enourmous. 1st responders can use the system to transmit data to secondary teams for a quicker and more precise situation evaluation and shorten response times to get the proper personnel and equipment on the scene. Hospitals can use the video to monitor the EMT's activities and iinteractions with the patient in the ambulance while in route.

The benefits for disaster teams would save lives, time and money by having the same accelerated situation analysis capabilities.

Just some thoughts.

There are plenty of "Mobile DVR" available these days. They are compact version of the standard DVR with special case (shock absorbing) and high recording frame rate (to record video with fast moving background). However they only record video from the on board cameras. Some Mobile DVR has got option of GPRS transmission but I never seen one in action.
Does anyone know a mobile system that uses W-CDMA to transfer video? How good is it?

Many police cruisers are already implementing this technology with great success. Buses are showing a real need for this, especially school buses to monitor students. Ambulances would probably benefit the most though, increasing response time and accuracy as one of the other posts mentioned.
