For　the　bandwidth　limitation　and　unstable　network　topology　in　wireless　video　sensor　networks　(WVSNs),　an　energy-efficient,　distance-aware　and　QoS-guaranteed　multi-path　routing　(EDQMR)　protocol　for　WVSNs　is　proposed　in　this　paper.　The　optimum　routing　is　selected　in　the　protocol　comprehensively　considering　constrains　such　as　delay,　the　maximum　hop　distance　and　the　node　residual　energy.　Simulation　results　show　that　when　delay　requirements　are　met,　compared　to　existing　protocol　AOMDV,　the　proposed　EDQMR　can　significantly　enhance　the　packet　delivery　ratio　while　prolonging　the　network　lifetime.
