There are many reasons that lead to increase the mortality of the respiratory failure patients, who are undergoing the hospital mechanical ventilator. From these reasons, the inability of an expert doctor to follow up such patients where he/she cannot stay with them all time. In addition to, in most cases especially in public hospitals, lack of the experience of some physicians lead to the inability to provide the necessary therapeutic service at the suitable time for such patients. In this work, we provide a new approach for tele-controlling and tele-monitoring the mechanical ventilator while tele-monitoring a patient when is demanded. In this approach, we use a simple and a lightweight unit placed inside the device in an easy and a safe way. Our system has four sections: the Arduino kits, the interface board, IP camera, and the html web control page. Our system provides live videos for a patient and the device when is needed, then, a doctor can follow up his/her patient and control the device when he/she wants. In addition to, this system can tele-control the device from anywhere without causing any defect to the internal circuitry of the device. This system can be applied to several medical devices not only the hospital mechanical ventilator, in addition to, provides a wireless real-time remote control for the device without any considerable delay
