System for monitoring a vehicle's interior uses a camera installed in a passenger area to digitize captured images and transfer image data by radio signals to a fixed monitoring station

摘要

A miniature video camera not visible to a passenger is integrated into a semitransparent vehicle mirror in a vehicle. A GPS system for the vehicle makes local data automatically available upon activating the miniature video camera. This data is transmitted to a monitoring station together with camera images digitized in the vehicle. The miniature video camera captures images in a visible infrared range.
