Abstract

Vehicle event recorder includes an illumination system designed to cooperate with the particular task at hand. Specifically, an invisible infrared light is used to avoid disturbing a vehicle operator's concentration while driving. The illuminator is highly integrated with the vehicle event recorder and coupled to its power. The vehicle event recorder system includes illumination management whereby power is only applied to the illuminator when appropriate conditions are present such as natural light. The illumination sources may additionally have a directional bias to preferentially illuminate a portion of the field-of-view of the vehicle event recorder system.
