US Patent 11532221 System and method for vehicle security monitoring

A monitoring system for a vehicle includes surveillance sensors configured to capture sensor data proximate to the vehicle. A position sensor is configured to detect a location of the vehicle. A controller is in communication with the surveillance sensors and the position sensor. The controller calculates a security score in response to security data based on the location of the vehicle and selects an active mode for the surveillance sensors in response to the security score. The active mode is selected from a plurality of surveillance modes that vary an active operation of the plurality of surveillance sensors. The controller may change or escalate the active mode and a corresponding monitoring operation (e.g., from a first mode to a second mode) in response to a security detection.
