    a wireless antenna; and

    a wireless transceiver coupled to the wireless antenna and configured to upload the video data captured by the camera portion and audio messages received by the microphone to a remote server, and communicate, via the remote server, the video data captured by the camera portion to one or more remote client devices including a smart phone configured to execute a downloaded software application, the one or more client devices being remote from the camera module, and the remote server being remote from the camera module and the one or more client devices;

    wherein;

    the camera module is configured to stream to the remote server the video data and received audio messages via the wireless transceiver of the camera module substantially in real time while the video data is captured;

    the remote server is configured to store the video data and audio messages, and the smart phone is configured to access the video data and audio messages stored in the remote server after logging into the remote server; and

    the remote server is configured to analyze the stored video data to determine whether a characteristic of the video data exceeds a threshold value, and in response to determining that the characteristic of the video data exceeds the threshold value, send a notification to the smart phone indicative of the characteristic of the video data exceeding the threshold value.
