Abstract: A security system for use in a vehicle includes a first device configured for mounting in a first location of a vehicle, and a second device configured for mounting in a second location of a vehicle different from the first location. The first device includes a first image capture sensor facing a first direction and a first object detection module operative to detect the presence of an object exterior to a vehicle in which the first device may be mounted. The second device includes a second image capture sensor facing a second direction and the second direction different from the first direction.

Abstract: An in-vehicle security device mountable to a surface to the rear of a rear-view mirror of a vehicle, comprising: a first image capture device configured to receive images in a first direction relative to the security device; a second image capture device facing a second direction, the second direction different from the first direction; and a first object detection module configured to detect the presence of an object exterior to a vehicle in which the security device may be mounted; wherein the first image capture device and second image capture device are arranged to begin capturing images and/or video responsive to the first object detection module detecting the presence of an object exterior to a vehicle in which the security device may be mounted.

Abstract: A security system for an in-vehicle digital video recorder, comprising a sensor and a processing resource, the security system operative in: a first mode in which the sensor is operative at a first resolution; and a second mode in which the sensor is operative at a second resolution higher than the first resolution; the security system operative to receive signals from the sensor; wherein in the first mode the security system invokes the second mode responsive to a sensor signal exceeding a threshold value; and wherein in the second mode the processing resource monitors to determine if a security threat criterion is satisfied based on a received sensor signal.
