Abstract

L'invention concerne un système monté sur véhicule (1010) pour enregistrer de la vidéo et de l'audio. Le système (1010) utilise un traitement distribué, comprenant le codage de la vidéo et de l'audio à leurs sources et un bus de vitesse élevée, par exemple Ethernet (1148) connectant les divers composants et dispositifs externes du système. Le système (1010) peut comprendre un moniteur d'affichage (1040) qui est intégré dans le même logement (1020) qu'un rétroviseur (170) du véhicule, le moniteur d'affichage (1040) étant situé derrière le rétroviseur (170) et la vidéo affichée sur le moniteur étant visible dans le rétroviseur (170).
