A recording device includes a receiver, a recorder, and first and second selectors. The receiver is to be connected to a vehicle exterior imaging device and a vehicle interior imaging device, and receives vehicle exterior images and vehicle interior images generated in time series from the vehicle exterior imaging device and the vehicle interior imaging device, respectively. The recorder records the vehicle exterior images and the vehicle interior images received by the receiver. The first and second selectors respectively select a first image and a second image from the vehicle exterior images or the vehicle interior images recorded in the recorder. The first image indicates a first behavior previously determined as having an apparent risk in a behavior of the vehicle or the occupant. The second image indicates a second behavior previously determined as having a potential risk in a behavior of the vehicle or the occupant.

Recording device and recording method

Under usual conditions, a first computation unit computes/outputs a first light adjustment signal in accordance with a photometric signal, and a second computation unit performs control of at least part of the endoscope system. The second computation unit computes/outputs the second light adjustment signal in accordance with the photometric signal together with the at least partial control while suppressing an increase in a processing load when an abnormality has occurred in the first computation unit.
