Vehicle monitoring system and vehicle monitoring method

A vehicle monitoring system comprising:

• at least one camera;
• and
• a server that is communicably connected to a client terminal,
• wherein the camera
• performs capturing video data of a vehicle while switching a first capturing condition including an image parameter for capturing a number provided on the vehicle entering an angle of view of the camera, and a second capturing condition including an image parameter for capturing a face of an occupant in the vehicle, and
• transmits, to the server, a first captured video under the first capturing condition and a second captured video under the second capturing condition, and
• wherein the server
• arranges reproduction screens for the first captured video and the second captured video that are reproduceable in the client terminal, and
• displays the reproduction screens on the client terminal based on the first captured video and the second captured video,
• wherein, in a case where an instruction for updating the image parameter in the first capturing condition or the second capturing condition is received in response to a user's operation on the client terminal on which a reproduction screen for the first captured video and a reproduction screen for the second captured video are displayed, the server sends the instruction for updating the image parameter to the camera, and
• wherein the camera updates a corresponding image parameter in response to the instruction for updating the image parameter.

A vehicle monitoring method performed by a vehicle monitoring system including at least one camera, and a server that is communicably connected to a client terminal, the vehicle monitoring method comprising:

• by the camera, performing capturing video data of a vehicle while sequentially switching between a first capturing condition and a second capturing condition, the first capturing condition including an image parameter for capturing a number provided on the vehicle entering an angle of view of the camera, and the second capturing condition including an image parameter for capturing a face of an occupant in the vehicle, and transmit, to the server, a first captured video under the first capturing condition and a second captured video under the second capturing condition;
• and
• by the server, arranging reproduction screens for the first captured video and the second captured video that are reproduceable in the client terminal, and displaying the reproduction screens on the client terminal based on the first captured video and the second captured video,
• wherein the image parameter in the first capturing condition is an exposure time equal to or less than a first reference value or a gain value equal to or smaller than a second reference value, and
• the image parameter in the second capturing condition is an exposure time more than the first reference value or a gain value greater than the second reference value.
