A method and system for monitoring a vehicle for security. The method includes determining when a trigger event occurs to the vehicle based on a first input from a first sensor and activating a second sensor of the vehicle in response to the trigger event. An electronic processor then determines whether a person is local to the vehicle based on the second sensor, and generates a record of activity of the person based on the second sensor when the person is local to the vehicle.

The method according to claim 1, wherein deactivating the second sensor occurs after a predetermined amount of time. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein generating the notification indicative of the occurrence of the alarm event includes transmitting a message to an owner of the vehicle located remotely from the vehicle. 9. The method according to claim 8, the method further comprising receiving a user-selectable input from the owner of the vehicle in response to the message, the user-selectable input indicating a request to perform at least one action consisting of generating an audible alarm, turning off an audible alarm, and transmitting a record of activity of the area local to the vehicle to the owner. 10. A system for monitoring a vehicle for security comprising: a first sensor;a second sensor;an electronic processor communicatively connected to the first sensor and the second sensor, the electronic processor configured to determine when a trigger event occurs to the vehicle based on a first input from a first sensor;activate a second sensor of the vehicle when the trigger event has occurred;determine whether an alarm event has occurred based on a second input from the second sensor;generate a notification indicative of occurrence of the alarm event when the alarm event has occurred; anddeactivate the second sensor of the vehicle when no alarm event has occurred. 11. The system according to claim 10, the system further comprising memory connected to the electronic processor, and wherein the electronic processor is configured to generate a record of activity of the area local to the vehicle with the second sensor when the trigger event occurs and until the second sensor is deactivated within the memory. 12. The system according to claim 10, wherein the electronic processor is configured to determine when the trigger event occurs to the vehicle based on the first input from the first sensor by sensing a disturbance occurring to the vehicle with at least one of a group consisting of a vibration sensor and an acceleration sensor. 13. The system according to claim 10, wherein the second sensor includes a video camera, and wherein the electronic processor is configured to activate the video camera when the trigger event occurs, andanalyze video from the video camera to determine whether the alarm event has occurred. 14. The system according to claim 13, where the electronic processor is configured to determine locations of objects relative to the vehicle and when objects are located local to the vehicle, determine that the alarm event has occurred. 15. The system according to claim 14, wherein the electronic processor is configured to determine whether damage has occurred to the vehicle based on the first input. 16. The system according to claim 10, wherein the electronic processor is configured to deactivate the second sensor after a predetermined amount of time. 17. The system according to claim 10, wherein the electronic processor is configured to transmit a message to an owner of the vehicle located remotely from the vehicle. 18. The system according to claim 17, wherein the electronic processor is configured to receive a user-selectable input from the owner of the vehicle in response to the message, the user-selectable input indicating a request to perform at least one action consisting of generating an audible alarm, turning off an audible alarm, and transmitting a record of activity of the area local to the vehicle to the owner.
