I have been searching for weeks and can't find a solution. I do not care about quality. I currently have an arduino uno with a motor shield and gprs. I would like to add some form of video streaming from a camera whether it is from the arduino itself or something else like a raspberry pi and that is 3g or cell phone carrier based. How should I go about doing. The idea could be thought as a arduino rc car with a live streaming video camera. But I want the live stream to be posted on a website. Any ideas?
You can't do it at all with the avr based Arduinos. The Yun should be able to do this for you as well as control the car.

I remember reading about a GSM modem shield a few months ago that had an onboard video camera that could be configured to send the video stream over the cell data network. The video stream didn't go through the Arduino itself; the Arduino just controlled when and where it was transmitted. I don't remember the make, but perhaps you could do a search.

Thanks for the suggestion I am looking at the yun, seems like a good investment.

Seems a bit pricy. Is it possible for me to send an mms or picture taken from a camera?
strap an old android phone on it?
Seems like that is going to be my only option, I am going to have to pay for two services in the end I guess, do you think it is possible to bridge the connections form the gprs shield to a wifi shield and make like a hotspot and then use a standard ip camera to post to some sort of server?
how far is the distance we are talking?
whats the minimal acceptable frame-rate?
Why do you need a wifi-shield, if you have perfectly fine wifi in your android phone? You could just have the phone be the 'brains', use its wifi, use its GPS, use its IMU etc. And have it connect to an arduino which controlls motors etc.

The minimal frame rate is anything that shows some movement. Ideally I wanted to publish the video stream to a website. The phone seemed a little big for my project, and thought maybe I could use a wifi ip camera and somehow link it to the gprs shield. However your bring up a good point to use the phone as the brains and maybe have it connected through bluetooth or something.
I decided to go with something like a rc FPV kit
