If the vehicle is impacted, vibrated or someone approaches it, the surveillance device will automatically start recording to document the surrounding situation, providing evidence for determining liability in accidents, preventing the vehicle from being damaged or stolen, etc. For example, if the vehicle is scratched by another vehicle in the parking lot, the surveillance sentinel can record this process to TF card and upload to cloud, send a notification to mobile app at the same time. • Driving recording: While the vehicle is in motion, it can continuously record road conditions, traffic signs, as well as the movements of the vehicles and pedestrians in front.
