MANETs are also essential in Emergency Response situation where&nbsp;network information flow between deployed units is vital. In such cases voice and video transmission is&nbsp;essential to form a global view of the situation and decide on action. However, MANETs do not seem to&nbsp;effectively support multimedia applications and especially video transmission. In this work we evaluate the&nbsp;use of multiple interfaces and multiple channels for Video Transmission in Emergency Response Ad hoc&nbsp;Networks. We also evaluate the video transmission with rate adaptation. Aim of this paper is to tune multiinterfaces&nbsp;and multi-channels video transmission mechanisms in order to support better emerging situations&nbsp;and offer a solution to have acceptable transmission of the necessary video streams so that the control can&nbsp;get a complete overall picture of the situation and decide on the action to be taken. The simulation&nbsp;evaluation performed shows that multi-interfaces and multi-channels video transmission offers many&nbsp;advantages in Video Transmission in Emergency Response Ad hoc Networks.</p>
