VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle security system for monitoring a vehicle and notifying a user based on an occurrence of an event, the vehicle security system comprising:
- a portable rear view mirror, having a portable rear view mirror front side and a portable rear view mirror rear side and a microprocessor therebetween;
a control module, communicatively coupled to the microprocessora first image capture device, attached to the portable rear view mirror front side and communicatively coupled to the microprocessor;
a second image capture device, attached to the portable rear view mirror rear side and communicatively coupled to the microprocessor;
a microphone, attached to the portable rear view mirror rear side and communicatively coupled to the microprocessor;
a speaker, attached to the portable rear view mirror rear side and communicatively coupled to the microprocessor;
a remote communication transmitter, attached to the portable rear view mirror rear side and communicatively coupled to the microprocessor;
wherein the microprocessor to communicate to the control module with instructions to;
detect the event from an event set consisting of;
a vehicle theft attempt, a burglary attempt, an intruder attempt, a vehicle jacking attempt, a driver before driving insecurity, a driver while driving insecurity, and a driver after driving insecurity; and
record an image of the event.

Abstract
This invention relates to security systems. Previously, vehicle vandals and thieves were difficult to stop. Embodiments of the present invention use a vehicle security system (100) includes at least two image capture devices (ICD), sensors, a global positioning system tracking module (GPSTM), a control module (CM), and a monitoring device. The ICD are positioned at predetermined locations of the vehicle for capturing and transmitting images of a target object. The CM receives the captured images and sensor data variables. The CM analyzes the received images and sensor data variables based on predefined criteria to trigger auxiliary units. The CM transmits the images and sensor data variables based on the predefined criteria to the monitoring device. A graphical user interface displays the images for monitoring the vehicle and notifies the user.
