Smart Security Dash Camera (SSDC)
On UCF Campus alone there had been 30 plus vehicles that had had their windows smashed, items stolen,
and privacy disrupted according to UCF police reports. There had been suspected hundreds of unreported
other accidents that had affected the lives of many students. The reason that many of these accidents
and thefts were either not reported or do not get solved due to an obvious lack of evidence. According
to the Department of Motor vehicles there were 721,053 successful attacks on cars in the US in 2012 alone.
Of these thefts and attacks on vehicles a majority of them were on unattended vehicles making the
identification of the thief as well as arresting of them very difficult.
The project goal was to create an affordable product that can be bought and used as a vehicle theft
deterrent device. This product is able to detect a disruption due to motion that is unwarranted to the
vehicle. Once an anomaly is detected video will commence recording when an instance occurs. With the
technology readily available to make this product the cost to produce this type of device for most young
professionals and working individuals can be within affordable ranges, and become even cheaper
as time passes
