  • a housing;

    a processor located within the housing;

    a transceiver coupled to the processor for communicating with a remote server, the remote server being coupled to the remote camera;

    a motion tracking component mechanically coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the processor for generating a motion signal based on a motion of the mobile device as a whole in a space relative to a user, the remote server controlling a parameter of the remote camera in response to the motion signal based on the motion of the mobile device, the motion tracking component comprising an accelerometer; and

    a display coupled to the processor for displaying an output signal from the remote camera, the output signal being associated with the parameter of the remote camera,wherein when the accelerometer detects a movement of the mobile device away from or towards the user, the parameter comprises a zoom and the transceiver transmits a respective zoom control command to the remote server for zooming the remote camera.
