VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR USE WITH A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A vehicle monitoring system for use with a vehicle, the vehicle having cargo and non-cargo regions, the non-cargo regions comprising an engine compartment and an undercarriage, the vehicle monitoring system comprising:
- one or more cameras configured in the non-cargo regions to capture images of the non-cargo regions;
a data processing system mounted to the vehicle, the data processing system operatively connected to the cameras, the data processing system comprising at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one transmitter operatively connected together for;
receiving captured images from the cameras;
recording the captured images in non-volatile memory configured in the vehicle;
transmitting the captured images to remote storage away from the vehicle.

Abstract
Vehicle monitoring systems for use with a vehicle are disclosed. Vehicles have cargo and non-cargo regions, the non-cargo regions including an engine compartment and an undercarriage. Embodiments of vehicle monitoring systems may include cameras configured in the non-cargo regions to capture images of the non-cargo regions. A data processing system may be mounted to the vehicle. The data processing system may be operatively connected to the cameras. The data processing system may include at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one transmitter operatively connected together for: receiving captured images from the cameras; recording the captured images in non-volatile memory configured in the vehicle; and transmitting the captured images to remote storage away from the vehicle. Other vehicle monitoring systems may incorporate and synchronize performance metrics with the captured images.
