a camera arranged to capture video image data and to send the video image data to a remote server at a location remote from the camera, the camera including:
a first communications module arranged to send the video image data to the remote server via a first communications network having a first minimum bandwidth; and
a second communications module arranged to communicate via a second communications network; and
a base station arranged to communicate with the camera and with the remote server, the base station arranged to communicate with the remote server via the first communications network and a third communications network,
wherein the camera and the base station are adapted such that when a communications link between the camera and the remote server using the first communications network is inoperable, a communications link between the camera and the base station is established and at least a portion of the video image data is sent from the camera to the base station and is sent from the base station to the remote server via the third communications network.
