Abstract
A novel device for remote information download and transfer for downloading a secure, permanent record of criminal activity and/or accident evidence relating to a vehicle for evidentiary purposes which may be directly transferred to an information center and/or the authorities through a transmission link which is preferably a satellite up/link-down/link or saved directly onto the downloading device. The remote downloading device may be activated automatically or upon a trigger signal and comprises an interface, an information capturing storage device, a video monitor display and preferably a transceiver. The interface communicates with an information storage device, downloads the information saved therein and transmits it to the capture storage device, transceiver or both. The information may be displayed on the visual display monitor or transmitted via the transceiver to an off site location.
