VEHICLE RECORDING CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE RECORDING DEVICE, VEHICLE RECORDING CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Provided are a video data acquisition unit 120 that acquires video data; an event detection unit 127 that detects an event; a recording function control unit 123 that operates a parking recording function for storing video data, based on detection of the event, while the vehicle is parked; a surrounding information acquisition unit 129 that acquires surrounding information; and a determination unit 131 that determines whether the vehicle is in an environment where there is a high risk of an object colliding with the vehicle, based on the surrounding information. Depending on a determination made by the determination unit 131, the recording function control unit 123 switches between: a first parking recording that causes a camera 210 to start capturing images upon detecting an event and that stores video data of a predetermined period, as event recorded data; and a second parking recording that continuously records video data captured by the camera 210, and upon detecting an event, that stores video data of a predetermined period before and after the event is detected.
