1. A system for triggering video recording for the area around a vehicle in scenarios where collisions with the vehicle are detected while the vehicle is parked, the system comprising:
a sensor for measuring an impact value when an impact occurs on the vehicle;
a non-transitory memory; and
a processor connected to the non-transitory memory,
wherein the processor is configured to:
detect a location of a driver and a state of a door of a vehicle while the vehicle is parked,
variably set an impact sensing sensitivity based on the driver location and the state of the door,
sense the impact on the vehicle based on the impact sensing sensitivity, and
perform at least one of an impact sensing video storage or an impact sensing notification service based on the driver location and the state of the door after sensing the impact on the vehicle,
wherein the processor is further configured to ignore the sensed impact when the measured impact value does not exceed a preset reference impact value,
wherein the preset reference impact value is changed based on the impact sensing sensitivity,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
set the impact sensing sensitivity to a first impact sensing sensitivity during first parking when the driver is not located in a vehicle, and the driver is not located within a predetermined critical radius from the vehicle with the door of the vehicle open, and
set the impact sensing sensitivity to a second impact sensing sensitivity during second parking to be less sensitive compared to the first impact sensing sensitivity during the first parking when the driver is located in the vehicle, or when the driver is located within the predetermined critical radius from the vehicle with the door of the vehicle open.
