Mobile Vehicle Video Surveillance System Questions

CCTV Camera Pros had a customer ask the following questions related to setting up remote access to a vehicle video surveillance system:

I have a mobile surveillance system consisting of a PTZ camera mounted on a truck with a controller and monitor in the vehicle for Adhoc patrol surveilance. Is there a mobile device that can take the video signal and transmit it over a 3G gsm mobile network so that the feed can be monitored online remotely or using IP? I hear there are modules with a sim card slot and video input that can do this but I can't seem to find any plug n play devices that I can just hook up. Most solutions require proprietary software, licensing etc. I am looking for a device that comes with 12v DC power supply for vehicle use and that also has a USB socket where I can plug in a 3g modem card or wifi dongle?

CCTV Camera Pros suggestion:
