Proximity based vehicle security system

A security system, comprising:

• a sensor configured to detect sensor data;
• a plurality of cameras including a first camera configured to capture first image data of a first field-of-view of a surrounding environment and a second camera positioned on an infrastructure and configured to capture second image data of a second field-of-view of the surrounding environment;
• a memory configured to store the first image data and the second image data;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine that an object or an action of the object within the surrounding environment is different than a baseline of the surrounding environment based on the first image data or the sensor data,
• record the first image data when the object enters the first field-of-view,
• stop recording the first image data when the object exits the first field of view,
• determine that the second camera is within a threshold distance of the first camera,
• activate the second camera to capture the second image data of the second field-of-view of the surrounding environment, and
• generate a map of a path of travel of the object based on locations of activations and deactivations of the plurality of cameras and timings of the activations and deactivations of the plurality of cameras.

A method of capturing image data, comprising:

• capturing, using a first camera positioned on a first vehicle, first image data of a first field-of-view of a surrounding environment;
• determining, by a processor, that an object or an action of the object within the surrounding environment is unusual;
• recording, by the processor, the first image data when the object enters the first field-of-view of the surrounding environment;
• predicting, by the processor, when the object exits the first field-of-view based on a speed of the object;
• stop recording, by the processor, the first image data when the object exits the first field-of-view of the surrounding environment;
• determining, by the processor, that a second camera is within a threshold distance of the first camera;
• determining, by the processor, that the second camera is in a direction of movement of the object;
• activating, by the processor, the second camera to capture the second image data of a second field-of-view of the surrounding environment;
• and
• generating, by the processor, a map of a path of travel of the object based on locations of activations and deactivations of the first camera and the second camera and timings of the activations and deactivations of the first camera and the second camera.
