Abstract: A vehicle security surveillance system includes a camera installed within a vehicle's interior a memory device coupled to the camera, an external device interface coupled to the memory device, a wiring interface coupled to a power supply, a network interface module, and an image packet application. The camera is normally rendered in a “stand-by” mode until trigger activated to generate digital images of the interior of the vehicle. An image packet application facilitates, generation of at least one vehicle interior image packet. On receiving a trigger from the motion sensors, the camera is rendered to record digital images to the memory device and the image packet application initiates generation of at least one vehicle interior image packet including the recorded digital images and encrypts each digital image. The at least one vehicle interior image packet is sent from the vehicle security surveillance system via the network interface module.

Abstract: This is a vehicle security surveillance system (VS3). The VS3 system can either use a color CCD camera or black/white CCD camera with a motion detector built in. The camera will have a micro hard drive attached to it. The miniature hard drive will have software programmed into it such that when the motion detector is activated it will send power to the drive, which in turn activates the software. Once the software is activated it will store the images with a time and date stamp. The vehicle surveillance system will be constructed in one single unit. Each unit will be small enough to install in one or more locations in the vehicle as long as there is a power supply available.
