Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système permettant de recueillir, d'analyser et d'enregistrer des informations à des fins de surveillance de véhicules automobiles contre le vol et le vandalisme. L'invention a pour objet un système de surveillance de sécurité de bord monté sur véhicule, capable d'effectuer le suivi du véhicule pour des périodes courtes ou prolongées, pouvant fonctionner que le véhicule soit en marche ou à l'arrêt, comprenant une caméra vidéo (12) servant à produire des signaux vidéo relatifs à un incident se déroulant à proximité du véhicule, comprenant un dispositif audio servant à surveiller ce qui se passe à proximité du véhicule, un détecteur de mouvement servant à activer le système et des lumières activées par le système afin d'illuminer la zone filmée par la caméra. Les signaux vidéo sont numérisés dans un fichier de données synchronisé (34) portant une identification unique du véhicule et un indicateur temporel avec d'autres données d'entrée, relatives au véhicule ou à ses alentours, telles que des enregistrements audio ou analogue. Le fichier est crypté et enregistré dans un dispositif accessible par code de capacité importante, ou transmis en temps réel, via un émetteur-récepteur, à des autorités et/ou à un site d'enregistrement non embarqué. Une fois inscrit, le fichier codé ne peut plus être ni modifié ou altéré, ni décrypté sans clé de cryptage, et son accès est impossible sans le code d'autorisation d'accès. Le fichier de données enregistré peut être téléchargé pour être utilisé en tant que preuve.
