Abstract
The invention is related to methods and equipment that provide for automated image capture of all the exterior surfaces of a vehicle as it passes through an Entry/Exit or designated Portal. When the 360 Degree Vehicle Exterior Scanning System (VESS) detects a vehicle, the system will Scan User specified Vehicle Surfaces as it passes through the Entry/Exit/Portal. Exterior Surfaces scanned include at a minimum: Front End, Rear End, Drivers Side, Passengers Side, Hood, Roof, Cargo Area (Trunk). Underside of vehicle is capable/optional. License Plate is capable to be optionally captured for identification and transaction logging.
Cameras are mounted on Apparatuses at the designated Entry/Exit/Portal of the Scanning area. VESS are built specifically to be a stand-alone system and accommodate a plurality of IP video cameras, sensors and equipment. The Video is managed within the Apparatus on Camera and/or on an optional Storage Computer and/or transmitted remotely using wireless networks.
The VESS is capable to use stand-alone power utilizing DC Power Source(s) such as but not limited to; PhotoVoltaic, Fuel Cell, Deep Cycle Battery. If available, local AC power is used and could be in combination with DC Power sources as backup.
The Cameras are high resolution IP Cameras capable of on-board storage and analytics.
Video is Viewable Live or Recorded by connecting to the supplied Wireless Network infrastructure using Commercial-of-the Shelf Apple, Android or PC
applications.

Description
360 Degree Vehicle Exterior Scanning System Description:
General Character:
This invention relates generally to the creation of a technical solution to automatically view and record the state and condition of all exterior surfaces of a vehicle at a specific point in time. By Definition it is a Vehicle Exterior Scanning System (VESS).
Specifically, as the vehicle's custody is passed from Party A of the first part, to Party B of the second part to document the condition of the exterior of the vehicle at the point of the transaction where custody is passed. The invention relates to the assembly of a Portal of Equipment onto purpose-built Apparatuses for the containment and operation of Commercial-of-the-Shelf IP
Cameras and the storing and transmitting of video signals for live and recorded video evidence gathering thereof. The VESS can be installed in a fixed location for continuous daily use or is also designed to be easily disassembled into sub-sections and re-assembled requiring only hand tools for portable use at multiple locations/events.
Nature:
Video Management Systems (VMS), commonly known as Closed Circuit Television Systems (CCTV), historically are installed at a premises for security purposes to allow for live viewing and recording of criminal or inappropriate activity at that premise, such as a break-ins, internal theft or robbery event. CCTV can also be used for non-traditional (non-security) uses as an information gathering tool to which this invention is derived.
Vehicles are very expensive to purchase and as such are also expensive to repair. What this invention addresses is Claims for Damage or more specifically; False Claims for damage.
By example of Car Dealerships, when a customer drops off their car, there may be CCTV at the premises for security, but there may be only a single camera (if any at all) in the area of where the client drops off the car to the Dealership. Typically, a thorough examination of the exterior of the car is not done, let alone witnessed and agreed to by the client and dealer at the time of drop-off.
Automation of an irrefutable state of the exterior of the vehicle at the time of drop off¨ will 1) Deny a false claim of damage of pre-existing conditions
