The disclosure relates to vehicle security device and more particularly pertains to a new vehicle security device for visually recording and communicating with a third party.
The prior art relates to vehicle security devices. The prior art relates to a variety of vehicle security devices comprising a camera and a transceiver to wirelessly communicate with a third party. Known prior art lacks a vehicle security device including a first transceiver and a second transceiver to wirelessly communicate with a third party and further comprising a plurality of interior cameras and a plurality of exterior cameras.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a microprocessor is integrated within the interior of a vehicle. The microprocessor is configured for being positioned in a rear view mirror of the vehicle. The microprocessor has a transceiver configured for engaging by wireless communication to an agent of an entity being a third party security company. A speaker is in electric communication with the microprocessor, and a microphone is in electric communication with the microprocessor as well. The microprocessor is configured for rendering information provided by the microphone. A camera system is in electric communication with the microprocessor. The camera system further includes a rear camera configured for being positioned on the rear view mirror of the vehicle. A pair of bumper cameras is configured for recording visuals of an exterior surrounding of the vehicle. A pair of mirror cameras is configured for being positioned on a respective one of a pair of side mirrors of the vehicle. A roof mirror is configured for being positioned on an interior surface of a roof of the vehicle. Additionally, a start button is in electric communication with the microprocessor.
Furthermore, a method of activating a vehicle security camera assembly includes the step of pressing a start button to actuate a camera system integrated within a moving vehicle. The camera system can be actuated by speaking a first command into a microphone. The first command is “begin recording.” A global positioning system unit of a transceiver of a microprocessor begins locating the vehicle relative to the Earth. The user calls an agent of an entity by speaking a second command into the microphone. The second command is “call agent.” The transceiver of the microprocessor begins to connect by wireless communication to the agent of the entity. The user communicates with the agent by speaking into the microphone and listening from a speaker.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A speaker 30 is in electric communication with the microprocessor 12. The speaker 30 produces audio output received from the agent 22 from the transceiver 20 of the microprocessor 12. The speaker 30 is configured for being positioned on a front surface 32 of the rear view mirror 18 of the vehicle 14. A microphone 34 is in electric communication with the microprocessor 12, wherein the microphone 34 is configured for receiving audio input from the user. The microprocessor 12 is configured for rendering information provided by the microphone 34. The microphone 34 is configured for being positioned on the front surface 32 of the rear view mirror 18 of the vehicle 14 proximate to the speaker 30.
A camera system 36 is in electric communication with the microprocessor 12. The camera system 36 is configured for being integrated with the vehicle 14. Furthermore, the camera system 36 includes a rear camera 38. The rear camera 38 is configured for being positioned on the front surface 32 of the rear view mirror 18 of the vehicle 14 proximate to both the speaker 30 and the microphone 34. The rear camera 38 is configured for recording visuals of the interior 16 of the vehicle 14. Alternately, a pair of bumper cameras 40 is configured for recording visuals of an exterior surrounding 42 of the vehicle 14.
Furthermore, each of the bumper cameras 40 is configured for being positioned on a respective one of a front bumper 44 of the vehicle 14 and the back bumper 46 of the vehicle 14. Each of the bumper cameras 40 is configured for recording visuals in a 360 degree range of motion. A pair of mirror cameras 48 is configured for being positioned on a respective one of a pair of side mirrors 50 of the vehicle 14 to further record visuals of the exterior surrounding 42 of the vehicle 14. Additionally, a roof camera 52 is configured for being positioned on an interior surface 54 of a roof 56 of the vehicle 14. The roof camera 52 is configured for recording visuals of the interior 16 of the vehicle 14 in a 360 degree range of motion, similar to each of the bumper cameras 40.
A start button 58 is in electric communication with the microprocessor 12. The start button 58 is an actuator configured for initiating recording of each camera of the camera system 36 of the vehicle 14. Furthermore, the start button 58 initiates the global positioning system unit 26 of the transceiver 20 to begin locating the vehicle 14 relative to the Earth. The start button 58 is configured for being positioned on the front surface 32 of the rear view mirror 18 of the vehicle 14. A pair of stickers 60 is configured for being coupled to a respective one of a pair of side windows 62 of the vehicle 14. Each of the stickers 60 couples to a respective one of each of the windows 62 by an adhesive material of a first side of each of the stickers 60. A second side of each of the stickers 60 has a logo 64 of the vehicular security camera assembly 10. The purpose of the pair of stickers is to inform other drivers of the vehicular security camera assembly 10 integrated within the vehicle 14.
In use, the user presses the start button 58 to actuate the camera system 36 integrated within the moving vehicle 14. Additionally, the camera system 36 can be actuated by speaking a first command 66 into the microphone 34. The first command 66 is “begin recording.” The global positioning system unit 26 of the transceiver 20 begins locating the vehicle 14 relative to the Earth. The user calls the agent 22 of the entity 24 by speaking a second command 68 into the microphone 34. The second command 68 is “call agent.” The transceiver 20 of the microprocessor 12 begins to connect by wireless communication to the agent 22 of the entity 24. The user communicates with the agent 22 by speaking into the microphone 34 and listening from the speaker 30. The global positioning system unit 26 is also in wireless communication with the agent 22 wherein the agent 22 can determine the location of the moving vehicle 14. The agent 22 is able to view the camera system 36 as well.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
