accessing a router that supports a wireless communication through a communication module, wherein the accessing the router comprises: searching for one or more wireless Internet routers around the vehicle as the vehicle is parked, transmitting information related to the one or more wireless Internet routers to the external server; transmitting the information to the user terminal through the external server: receiving, from the user terminal through the external server, selection information including a password accessing one wireless Internet router; accessing a pre-designated router among the one or more wireless Internet routers based on the password received from the user terminal; and transmitting a notice of having accessed the pre-designated router to a user terminal through an external server; and transmitting the video to a device external to the vehicle through the wireless communication, wherein the transmitting the video to the device external to the vehicle comprises: transmitting the video according to a command transmitted from a user terminal through an external server, or automatically transmitting the video according to preset settings. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the communication module is a communication module in the system for recording videos or a communication module of another device in the vehicle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the accessing the router comprises: turning on the communication module based on a signal transmitted through a communication unit that supports a wireless communication within the vehicle, transmitting information related to at least one wireless Internet router around the vehicle to an external server, and accessing one router selected through the external server among the information related to the at least one wireless Internet router. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the accessing the one router selected through the external server comprises: transmitting the information about the at least one wireless Internet router to a user terminal through the external server, and accessing the one router selected through the external server from the user terminal. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the accessing the one router selected through the external server further comprises receiving a password for accessing the one router from the user terminal through the external server. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting the video to the device external to the vehicle comprises: receiving at least one command from a user terminal through the wireless communication, and transmitting the video to the device external to the vehicle through the wireless communication according to the at least one command. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the at least one command comprises transmitting the video to the user terminal through an external server or transmitting the video to an external storage server designated from the user terminal. ### Claim 8 A system for recording videos, the system comprising: a camera module configured to capture a video of an area surrounding a vehicle; a first memory configured to store the video transmitted from the camera module; and a first controller comprising a second memory configured to store a computer program for controlling an operation of storing the video and a processor configured to execute the computer program; a vehicle modem configured to communicate with an external server; wherein, through execution of the computer program by the processor, the controller is configured to perform: accessing a router that supports a wireless communication through a communication module, wherein the accessing the router comprises: searching for one or more wireless Internet routers around the vehicle as the vehicle is parked; transmitting information related to the one or more wireless Internet routers to the external server; transmitting the information to a user terminal through the external server; and receiving, from the user terminal through the external server selection information including a password for accessing one wireless Internet router; accessing a pre-designated router among the one or more wireless Internet routers based on the password received from the user terminal; and transmitting a notice of having accessed the pre-designated router to a user terminal through an external server; and transmitting the video to a device external to the vehicle through the wireless communication, wherein the transmitting the video to the device external to the vehicle comprises: transmitting the video according to a command transmitted from a user terminal through an external server, or automatically transmitting the video according to preset settings. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the communication module is a communication module in the system for recording videos or a communication module of another device in the vehicle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the accessing the router comprises: turning on the communication module based on a signal transmitted through a communication unit supporting a wireless communication within the vehicle, transmitting information related to at least one wireless Internet router around the vehicle to an external server, and accessing one router selected through the external server among the information related to the at least one wireless Internet router. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the accessing the one router selected through the external server comprises: transmitting the information related to the at least one wireless Internet router to a user terminal through the external server, and accessing the one router selected through the external server from the user terminal. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the accessing the one router selected through the external server further comprises receiving a password for accessing the one router from the user terminal through the external server. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the transmitting the video to the device external to the vehicle comprises: receiving at least one command from a user terminal through the wireless communication, and transmitting the video to the device external to the vehicle through the wireless communication according to the at least one command. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one command comprises transmitting the video to the user terminal through the external server or transmitting the video to an external storage server designated by the user terminal.
