How to transmit video from android phone to phone

Question

I am a highschool student working on a quadcopter project. I am using an android phone instead of a traditional microcontroller because of the phone's speed and other features. The main point of using android phone is for video transmission. I have knowledge in a wide range of programming languages but not so much with networking. How do I transmit video data from the camera of one phone to another over the network?

If you can direct me on what classes or functions I need to look up on specifically it would also be a great help. Since I am not that proficient in networking terms and ways it would be helpful, if you would assume that I have minimal knowledge on data transferring over network but I have been using java for years.
