Abstract
A control device for a recorder in an associated vehicle includes a processor and an input port operatively coupled with the processor. The input port receives a parking brake status signal comprising parking brake data representative of a parking brake status. A non-transient memory device is operatively coupled with the processor. The non-transient memory device stores parking brake status data representative of whether the parking brake is engaged. Control logic stored in the non-transient memory device is executable by the processor to: determine a parking brake status as engaged based on the parking brake data. An output port is operatively coupled with the processor. The output port transmits a recording control signal enabling the recording based on the determined parking brake status.
