1. A method for determining the integrity of video, the method comprising the steps of:
- instructing an external apparatus to produce and apply stimuli to a camera while a video is being recorded by the camera, wherein the external apparatus is a light or a camera mounting;
recording time periods during which the stimuli is applied;
receiving the video recorded by the camera;
receiving data on stimuli applied to the camera;
determining if time periods during which the stimuli is applied correspond to a response seen within the video; and
determining the integrity of the video based on whether time periods during which the stimuli is applied correspond to responses seen within the video.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing and determining integrity of video is provided herein. During operation, a trusted unit such as a computer housed within a securable trunk of a vehicle generates or receives data on stimuli applied to a camera and receives video purportedly taken by that camera, as means for the trusted unit or an independent entity to determine if time periods of the stimuli correspond to responses seen or heard within the video.

5. A method for providing integrity of video, the method comprising the steps of:
-
recording video with a camera; instructing an external apparatus to produce and apply stimuli to the camera while the video is being recorded, wherein the external apparatus is a light or a camera mounting; separately recording stimuli applied to the camera and further recording the time periods during which the stimuli is applied; and storing both the recorded video and the recorded stimuli so that the integrity of the video can be insured by determining if time periods during which the stimuli is applied correspond to a response seen within the video. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 10, 16, 17)

8. An apparatus for determining the integrity of video, the apparatus comprising:
a computer receiving a video recorded by a camera, receiving data on stimuli applied to the camera, wherein the stimuli is created by an external device, the external device receiving instructions from the computer to produce and apply the stimuli while the video is being recorded, further wherein the external device is a light or a camera mounting, recording time periods during which the stimuli is applied, determining if time periods during which the stimuli is applied correspond to a response seen within the video, and determining the integrity of the video based on whether time periods during which the stimuli is applied correspond to responses seen within the video. - View Dependent Claims (9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
