  • Patent number: 10847187
    Abstract: A system for dynamic pairing includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to identify paired event data based on an event time and an event location. The processor is configured to determine a paired video data region; retrieve a subset of video data stored in a pairing database or from a vehicle event recorder; and provide the subset of the video data as the paired event data. The paired video data region includes locations spatially nearby the event location and times temporally nearby the event time. The pairing database or the vehicle event recorder stores a video data. The video data is retrievable based on an associated time data and/or location data. The video data is placed in the subset of video data in response to the associated time data and location data being within the paired video data region.
