Abstract

A camera system located on a vehicle for recording images, the images being stored within a memory device 3 for later playback on a personal computer. The preferred embodiment has two cameras 1, 2 located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle, one forward pointing and one rearward pointing. Separate memory cards 5 may be provided for storing image data from each camera. The recording, saving and deletion of journey data may be controlled by control pad 4. Electrical power to the memory devices may be provided from the vehicle's battery 8. The memory devices may be transportable for connection to a personal computer.

Description

24045 1 3 INTEGRATED VEHC1LE CAMERA SYSTEM The invention relates to an
integrated vehicle camera system that is to be fitted into vehicles of all types. There will be one camera fitted to the front of the vehicle and a second camera to the rear of the vehicle Both these fitted cameras will be able to record journey data of any give vehicle journey both from the front \iew of the vehicle and the rear view of the vehicle There are integrated cameras available in new premium range vehicles However, these are limited to specific vehicles and only allow the driver on occasions to view what's behind the vehicle when reversing the vehicle. This data is purely visionary and cannot be captured or stored This invention will be available to all vehicle owners and will have the advantage of recording the vehicle journey data The object of the vehicle camera is to help reduce the risk of traffic accidents, improve road safety and reduce insurance premiums for all vehicle owners Accordingly, this invention records the journey data via the camera function and allows the data to be stored on memory cards within a in-vehicle fitted memory box. This data can then be viewed using connection cables on a personal computer By recording the journey data, the driver has, in the event of a road traffic accident tangible evidence to support nay insurance or legal claims. Also, in the eveht that a vehicle camera captures data of a criminal activity (e g hit and run accident), this data can be passed onto the relevant agencies to support any criminal proceedings A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying arawmg; FIGURE] shows an example of the front view vehicle camera that is to be connected to the front of the vehicle interior; FIGURE 2 shows an example of the rear view vehicle camera that is to be connected to the rear of the vehicle interior; FIGURE 3 shows an example of the memory box that is to be fitted into the vehicle and connected to FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2 This will be powered by example of FTGUPE 8 the vehicle battery FIGURE 4 show-e an example of the control pad that is to be fitted to the interior of the vehicle and connected to the memory box FIGURE 3, FIGURE 5 shows an example of the two memory cards that are to store the journey data and inserted into the memory box FIGURE 3, FIGURE 6 shows and example of the transportable memory box that would be connected to a personal computer FIGURE 7 in order to view the data form the memory cards FIGURE 5; FIGURE 7 shows and an example of a personal computer that would allow the data of the memory cards FIGURE j to be viewed FIGURE 8 shows an example of the vehicle battery that would be used to power the memory box FIGURE 3, the cameras FIGURE'S 1 & 2 and the control pad FIGURE 4; FIGURE 9 shows an example of a CR-Rom that would contained software to be uploaded on a personal computer FIGURE 7 in order to view the journey data from the memory cards FIGURE Two vehicle cameras FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2 will be available for vehicle owners to have fitted into their vehicles. One camera will be fitted to secure area of the front of the vehicle (preferably) to the spine of the rear view mirror The second camera will be fitted to a secure position to the rear of the vehicle (preferably above the rear wind screen) Both the front view camera and the rear view camera will be connected to a memory box FIGURE 3 within which to separate memory cards FIGURE 5 are installed to record the data of each of the two cameras The fitted memory box FIGURE 3 will be connected to a control pad FIGURE 4 that will control the recording, saving and deleting of the journey data.

Claims (7)

1. An integrated vehicle camera system that is fitted to the interior of a vehicle that captures and stores data of a vehicle journey or any element relating to the vehicle journey that is in view of the camera device and stored onto a memory device to be viewed on a personal computer supported by the appropriate and relevant software
2 An integrated vehicle camera system as claimed in Claim 1 that consists of two separate camera devices one to be fitted to the front interior of the vehicle and the other to be fitted to the rear interior of the vehicle which can both be freed permanently or be fitted so that both the cameras are removed and replaced as and when required.
3. An integrated vehicle camera system as claimed in Claim 1 and Claim 2 where both cameras as claimed in Claim ? will be connected to a fitted device within the interior of the vehicle that will capture and store the journey data on two separate memory storage devices inserted into the fitted device.
4. An integrated vehicle camera system as claimed in Claim 1, Claim 2 and Claim 3 that will be connected to a control device that will be used to operate the camera system claimed in Claim 1.
5. An integrated vehicle camera system as claimed in the preceding claims that will be powered using power from the vehicles battery
6. An integrated vehicle camera system as claimed in the preceding claims designed and constructed using the appropriate technologies and materials to create a fully operational vehicle camera system as claimed in the preceding claims
7. An integrated vehicle camera system as claimed in the preceding claims that will be supported by the appropriate and relevant software that would be needed to Mew the journey data from the vehicle camera system on a personal computer.
