The present disclosure relates to a method and system for monitoring the status of a person in the vicinity of a vehicle, including capturing an image of an area in the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehicle, analysing the captured image, detecting if the captured image contains a person, determining at a first time a characteristic associated with the person in the captured image, comparing the characteristic with a predefined threshold value; and in response to the determined parameter surpassing the predefined threshold value, actuating a change of state of the vehicle. The characteristic may comprise temperature.

A vehicle camera system for integration into a vehicle may include a PCB or other controller. At least one camera may interface with the controller. The at least one camera may be integrated into the vehicle in at least one selected location or position on the vehicle. A motion sensor may interface with the controller. The motion sensor may be configured to detect motion of an object and/or a person approaching the vehicle and responsively activate the at least one camera to capture at least one image of an offending person and/or vehicle in the case of a collision or damage to the vehicle.
