Abstract
In-vehicle monitoring systems and associated methods. The systems include a first lens pointed in a first direction, a second lens pointed in a second direction, camera element(s) that receive images from the lenses, interface(s) to storage for the images, and at least one in-vehicle mount for the system. The first lens and the second lens may point in opposite directions. The interface(s) may be at least one micro SD port, SIM card port, USB port, wireless communication element, interface to an included memory, or some combination thereof. The systems may also include a motion detection element, a location detection element, a microphone, a speaker, or some combination thereof. At least some images may be sent to the interface(s) in response to detection of a triggering event, for example a verbal command, a vehicle accident, a vehicle break-in, a police encounter, or a medical emergency.
