Remember the helicopter footage from TV time-wasters like World's Craziest Police Chases? Now imagine being able to watch that on your smartphone --instead of your TV set -- and even tilt, zoom and pan the camera to get different views, similar to what you would do with Google Earth.

A new mobile technology product called HT 4Sight promises to bring live, encrypted video feeds direct from air crews to smartphones on the ground. Initially, the product is being targeted at law enforcement and security officials.
