generate an alarm signal according to the detection result; and

transmit the alarm signal to a networking terminal in real time.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the real-time scene pictures comprehensively cover the space inside the car.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to delimit a detection area and detect the moving objects in the detection area.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

code and compress the real-time scene image data or scene image data after pre-processing and the moving object detection analysis; and

transmit the coded and compressed scene image data to the networking terminal.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the processor is further configured to:

when the moving object in the space inside the car is detected, actively push a connection request to the networking terminal, and after acquiring the acknowledgement of the networking terminal, transmit the coded and the compressed scene image data to the networking terminal, or when receiving a data acquisition request of the networking terminal, verify the identity of the networking terminal, and if the networking terminal passes the identity verification, transmit the coded and the compressed scene image data to the networking terminal.

6. The device of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a data selection instruction sent by the networking terminal, and acquire the real-time scene image data or extract the scene image data of a designated time period after pre-processing and the moving object detection analysis according to the data selection instruction,

wherein, the data selection instruction comprises selecting the real-time scene image data or the stored scene image data of the designated time period after pre-processing and the moving detection object analysis according to an external input.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

store the scene image data in real time after image pre-processing or after the moving object is marked,

wherein, the image pre-processing comprises one or more of image de-noising, image enhancement, image distortion removal or image geometric transformation.

8. The device of claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to:

generate a historical record information list according to the attribute information of the scene image data stored in real time, wherein the scene image data comprising the moving object in the historical record information list is highlighted; and

the attribute information comprises one or more of time information, time length information, place information, file data volume information or moving object detection result information.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:
