Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for detecting and backing up video data in a motor vehicle (1), wherein the motor vehicle (1) is provided with at least camera sensors (102, 103) for detecting the video data, characterized in that the detection and/or the backup is/are triggered in an automated manner.

Claims

1-8. -8. (canceled)

9. A method for at least one of detecting and backing up video data in a motor vehicle comprising:

at least one of detecting and backing up video data for the vehicle with at least camera one sensors;

automatically triggering at least one of the detecting and backing upon identification of a hazard situation; and

identifying the hazard situation with a vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the hazard situation is identified with environment sensors.

11. The method according to claim 9, wherein the backing up of the video data is encrypted.

13. The method according to claim 9, further comprising at least one of detecting and backing up sensor data of the vehicle in addition to the video data.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the sensor data includes data of other road users.

15. The method according to claim 14, further comprising checking the video data for plausibility with the further sensor data.

16. A system for at least one of detecting and backing up video data in a motor vehicle comprising:

at least one camera sensors for at least one of detecting and backing up video data for the vehicle; and

a controller with instructions for;

automatically triggering at least one of the detecting and backing upon identification of a hazard situation; and

identifying the hazard situation with a vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the hazard situation is identified with environment sensors.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the backing up of the video data is encrypted.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein the camera sensors are also used by at least one vehicle safety system including a steer assist, a lane departure assist, brake assist and a distance assist system.

20. The system of claim 16, further comprising at least one of detecting and backing up sensor data of the vehicle in addition to the video data.

21. The system of claim 20, wherein the sensor data includes data of other road users.

22. The system of claim 21, further comprising checking the video data for plausibility with the further sensor data.
