Methods and systems are provided for transmitting video data associated with a vehicle. In one exemplary embodiment, a vehicle processor determines a vehicle safety event based on one or more safety sensors, activates one or more vehicle cameras that capture video data in response to the determined vehicle safety event, records the video data in a vehicle data storage device, and, if the vehicle processor determines that a suitable connection to a telecommunications network is available when the video data is being captured, then transmits the video data over the telecommunications network in substantially real time. 提供了用于传输与车辆相关联的视频数据的方法和系统。在个示例性实施例中，车辆处理器基于个或多个安全传感器确定车辆安全事件，响应于所确定的车辆安全事件来启动捕获视频数据的个或多个车辆摄像机，将视频数据记录在车辆数据存储装置中，以及如果车辆处理器确定当捕获视频数据时与电信网络的适当连接可用，则通过电信网络基本上实时地传输视频数据。
