1. An in-vehicle moving image data recording apparatus mounted in a vehicle, comprising:

  • a normal image quality coding unit for compressing moving image data generated from images of surroundings of the vehicle captured by a camera unit mounted in the vehicle with a normal image quality to generate a normal-quality compressed moving image data;

    a high image quality coding unit for compressing the moving image data with an image quality higher than the normal image quality to generate a high-quality compressed moving image data;

    a normal image quality data storage unit for recording therein the normal-quality compressed moving image data;

    a trigger detecting unit for detecting an abnormal condition which possibly happens to the vehicle currently travelling; and

    a high image quality data storage unit for recording therein the high-quality compressed moving image data based on a timing by which the abnormal condition is detected by the trigger detecting unit.
