A vehicle security assembly includes a vehicle and a plurality of camera units. Each of the camera units is coupled to the vehicle to record video footage of the immediate environment of the vehicle. The plurality of camera unit is positioned at strategic locations on the vehicle. A recording unit is positioned within the vehicle and the recording unit is in electrical communication with each of the camera units to record video footage captured by the camera units. A personal electronic device is positioned within the vehicle. A data sensor is provided which is placed in electrical communication with an engine computer module of the vehicle thereby facilitating the data sensor to receive diagnostic data from the engine computer module. Moreover, the data sensor is in communication with the personal electronic device to facilitate a driver of the vehicle to view the diagnostic data.

Systems and methods that compare a validation image to one or more confirmation data sets, wherein each of the one or more confirmation sets is formed based on matching a document image and a confirmation image. In at least one example, one or more vehicle operability actions may be performed responsive to the validation image matching a confirmation data set of the one or more confirmation data sets. A refusal action may further be performed responsive to the validation image not matching the confirmation data, for example.

Systems and methods for using image analysis techniques to assess abnormal vehicle operating conditions are disclosed. According to aspects, a computing device may access and analyze image data depicting an individual(s) within a vehicle. Based on the depicted individuals(s) and optionally on other data, the computing device may determine that an abnormal condition exists. In response, the computing device may generate a notification and transmit the notification to an electronic device of an individual associated with the vehicle.

An information capture device for vehicle monitoring, the device including an external housing configured so that it can be wedged into a gap between two surfaces, at least one power supply, at least one communication device and at least one sensor to capture input information in relation to at least one measurable parameter relating to the vehicle is provided. A system including the information capture device and a portable computing device such as a smartphone, tablet or the like and/or a remote server for analysis of the captured information is also disclosed.

A vehicle includes: a tire monitor, located in a wheel arch and configured to: project beam(s) onto a tire, measure reflection(s) of the beam(s); memory, processor(s) configured to, based on the reflection(s): build a two-dimensional (2D) profile of the tire, compare depths of the built profile to depths of a preloaded profile, assess tire wear based on the comparison.

A system (e.g., a monitoring device) for monitoring a first battery (e.g., a vehicle battery) provided in a vehicle is provided with a monitoring unit for monitoring the electric state of the first battery (e.g., the vehicle battery) capable of starting a motor of the vehicle; and a power supply unit that is a second battery for supplying electric power to the monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may determine whether or not the motor is stopped, and when the motor is stopped, the monitoring unit may monitor, as the electric state of the first battery, e.g., the voltage of the first battery.

The invention relates to a device for monitoring a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle (2), configured to be connected to an interface (3) of the motor vehicle (2), the device comprising:—a processor (1a) associated with a memory (1b),—a geolocation module (1c),—a vibration detection module (1d) and/or a fall detection module (1f),—a mobile application module (1g) for exchanging information on the vehicle with a mobile application server (4),—a silent alert module (1i) via the mobile application server (4) according to vibration detection module data (1d) or fall detection module data (1f), characterized by:—a mobile internet network connection module (1i),—an audible alarm (5), and in that the mobile application module (1g) is configured to remotely control the audible alarm (5).

A containment area can be defined by a single cable carrying an asymmetric electromagnetic signal that generates a magnetic field comprising an asymmetric waveform. A single inductor circuit configured to detect a single axis of the magnetic field can detect the asymmetric waveform and determine which direction the inductor is traveling relative to the cable. A human-propelled cart can have a wheel that includes the single inductor circuit and detect whether the cart is being pushed from inside-to-outside the containment area (which may reflect the cart is being stolen or improperly used) or from outside-to-inside (which may reflect the cart is being returned). The cart can include an anti-theft system (e.g., a locking or braking wheel), which can be triggered if the cart is being moved from inside to outside the containment area. The single cable, single inductor system can be less expensive and more efficient than multi-cable, multi-inductor systems.
