Summary: 
This paper describes a novel mobile video monitoring system. The receiver is a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) with a PHS (Personal Handy Phone system) card. The sender is a PC-based video encoding system, which is connected to an ISDN line by ISDN-TA. Functions such as camera selection, remote camera control and high-resolution snap shot are implemented. In this paper, details of the system are explained and a practicability assessment is performed. An experiment was conducted to measure the upward and downward transmission delay. From the results, the system performs consistently to a theoretical behavior. Furthermore, the performance of this system is quite practical for mobile video monitoring.
