An exemplary method includes a monitoring system identifying a time period during which a vehicle equipped with a tracking device travels at least a threshold distance, determining that the tracking device fails to acquire a desired signal for a predetermined amount of time during the time period, and, in response to determining that the tracking device fails to acquire the desired signal, determining that the tracking device is potentially being interfered with during the time period by a signal jamming device.

Methods and systems for detecting potential interference with a tracking device associated with a vehicle

A method may include detecting, by a mobile device, a first signal transmitted from a mobile device mount located in a vehicle and transmitting, by the mobile device and in response to detecting the first signal, a second signal to a vehicle system interface device. The method may also include sending, by the vehicle system interface device and in response to receiving the second signal, a third signal to a camera configured to capture video data associated with objects located at least one of behind or to the side of the vehicle and transmitting video data by the camera, in response to receiving the third signal. The method further includes receiving, by the mobile device, the video data transmitted by the camera and automatically displaying, by the mobile device, the received video data.

Systems and methods for streaming video from a rear view backup camera

An exemplary method includes a monitoring system identifying a time period during which a vehicle equipped with a tracking device travels at least a threshold distance, determining that the tracking device fails to acquire a desired signal for a predetermined amount of time during the time period, and determining, based on the determining that the tracking device fails to acquire the desired signal for the predetermined amount of time during the time period, that the tracking device is potentially being interfered with during the time period. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.

A device may detect occurrence of an event. The device may receive energy storage information and solar charging information. The energy storage information may be associated with an energy storage component. The solar charging information may be associated with a solar array. The energy storage information and the solar charging information may be received based on the occurrence of the event. The device may set, based on at least one of the energy storage information or the solar charging information, a time value and/or a radio operation state. The device may determine, based on the time value, to determine location information. The device may determine location information. The device may transmit the location information based on the radio operation state.

Energy storage management in solar-powered tracking devices

A device may receive a request for imaging of a particular location. The device may identify one or more sensors associated with imaging the particular location. The device may select a sensor, of the one or more sensors, for imaging the particular location. The sensor may be associated with an autonomous vehicle. The device may cause the autonomous vehicle to move the sensor to the particular location. The device may receive imaging of the particular location based on causing the autonomous vehicle to move the sensor to the particular location. The device may selectively combine the imaging of the particular location with archived other imaging of the particular location. The device may provide imaging of the particular location to fulfill the request for imaging of the particular location based on selectively combining the imaging of the particular location with archived imaging of the particular location.
