A system comprising:
- a storage device;
- a sensor configured to detect at least one event;
- a surround-view camera system including a plurality of cameras placed about a trailer, the surround-view camera system configured to capture images of areas around the trailer;
- and
- a processor configured to
- receive the captured images of the areas around the trailer,
- render a birds-eye view of an image of the trailer in real-time,
- store the rendered birds-eye view of the image to the storage device,
- determine whether the at least one event has been detected by the sensor, and
- in response to determining that the at least one event has been detected, transmit at least one surround-view video file comprising the rendered birds-eye view of the image to a telematics device.
A method comprising:
- render a birds-eye view of an image of a trailer in real-time using images of areas around the trailer;
- store the birds-eye view of the image to a storage device;
- determining at least one event has been detected by a sensor;
- and
- transmitting a surround-view video file to a telematics device in response to determining that the at least one event has been detected, the surround-view video file comprising a first birds-eye view of the image rendered using images of areas around the trailer captured before the event.
