US Patent 10166949 Vehicle safety and security system

The vehicle safety and security system comprises one or more vehicle cameras which feed imaging data to a control box located within the vehicle and which may be controlled by a remote control device. The vehicle cameras may be located at positions within or outside of the vehicle. Imaging data captured by the cameras may be recorded or transmitted to a remote location, including transmission to the remote control device. The remote control device may display imaging data obtained from the control box and may change operational parameters such as the orientation of the cameras and whether imaging data should be recorded or not. The cameras may inform the remote control device of intrusions into the field of view of the cameras and the remote control device may cause the control box to preserve imaging data recorded in temporal proximity to incidents at the vehicle.
