Summary:Embodiments relate to operating a connected vehicle device to reduce the power consumption of the connected vehicle device to allow a battery of the connected vehicle device to maintain its charge for a longer amount of time. An amount of acceleration is sensed using one or more sensors attached to a vehicle. An event is detected by determining whether the sensed acceleration is larger than a threshold value. Responsive to an event being detected, one or more additional sensors attached to the vehicle are enabled and additional parameters are sensed using the one or more additional sensors. A determination is made whether the event is a reportable event based on the sensed additional parameters. If the event is a reportable event, a video is captured using one or more imaging devices, and the captured video is transmitted to a remote server using a cellular data network connection.
