[0002] In today's society, the number of automobiles in use is increasing continuously, resulting in a shortage of parking spaces. To alleviate this problem, the spacing between parking spaces has been gradually reduced, leading to frequent collisions when opening and closing doors between vehicles. Due to traditional designs, the small batteries of fuel vehicles are not sufficient to support sentry recordings like those of new energy vehicles such as Tesla. Moreover, most of the current dash cams on the market will power off after the vehicle is turned off, thus unable to record the vehicle's safety situation after the owner leaves the vehicle, leaving the owner without effective evidence to protect their interests.

[0027] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0028] An automotive sentry system includes a main control module, an image acquisition module, a power supply module, and an information storage module;

[0029] The main control module is an integrated circuit board;

[0030] The image acquisition module is at least one camera, and the cameras are arranged around the vehicle to form a vehicle-mounted panoramic view effect;

[0031] The power supply module is a storage battery;

[0032] The information storage module is a memory card, and the memory card is configured with a card mounting member. The camera, the battery, the power display light, and the card mounting member are all electrically connected to the integrated circuit board.

[0033] Preferably, in this embodiment, the mounting positions of the cameras on the vehicle include at least the front end position, the rear end position, and two side positions of the vehicle. For example, in a sedan, cameras are provided at the front end, the rear end, and at the positions of the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar on the side of the vehicle.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, the activation of the sentry system includes a manual activation button and an automatic activation sensor;

[0035] The manual activation button is used to manually operate the sentry system by a person.

[0036] The automatic activation sensor uses a proximity sensor. An induction distance is set in the induction direction. When an object approaches and is sensed, the sentry system is activated. The proximity sensor can use an ultrasonic sensor, etc., to perform the monitoring function of detecting the approach of an object.
