1. A method of transmitting video data from a vehicle, comprisingreceiving, via a vehicle processor, a video transmission command that has been generated in response to a user selection of a video transmission input device;
- determining via the vehicle processor, whether a vehicle external security event is occurring, based on sensor data obtained from one or more vehicle security sensors;
recording video data during a duration of the vehicle external security event via one or more vehicle cameras, via instructions provided by the vehicle processor, based on the determining that the vehicle external security event has occurred;
labelling the video data as corresponding to the vehicle external security event, via the video processor; and
transmitting, via the vehicle processor, the video data captured by one or more vehicle cameras during the vehicle external security event, along with the labelling of the video data as corresponding to the vehicle external security event, via instructions provided by the video processor in response to the received video transmission command, wherein transmission of video data is at least partly over a telecommunications network to a remote server.

14. A method of activating one or more cameras of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
providing a key fob having a camera activation button or other input device for remotely activating one or more vehicle cameras or providing a user device having a key fob app that generates, via a processor of the user device, a graphical user interface having a camera activation button or other input device for remotely activating one or more vehicle cameras; transmitting a wireless command signal from a key fob or a user device in response to selection of the camera activation button or other input device; activating the one or more vehicle cameras, via a vehicle processor, in response to the wireless command signal, to capture video data of at least the outside of the vehicle; analyzing the video data; and providing one or more enhancement commands to provide enhancements for the recording of the video data based on the analyzing of the video data, wherein the one or more enhancement commands are selected from the group consisting of the following;
a command to wash a camera that is recording the video data, a command to articulate a camera that is recording the video data, a command to switch from one camera to another camera for recording the video data, based on the analyzing of the video data, and a command to provide light enhancement for the one or more cameras that are recording the video data, based on the analyzing of the video data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
