1. A device associated with a vehicle, comprising:
memory;
a sensor operable to capture sensor data;
an additional sensor operable to capture additional sensor data;
a camera operable to capture video data of a scene associated with the vehicle; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
store, in the memory:
a set of thresholds associated with a sensor type of the sensor, wherein a first threshold of the set of thresholds is associated with an on-off status of the vehicle indicating that the vehicle is turned on and a second threshold of the set of thresholds is associated with the on-off status of the vehicle indicating that the vehicle is turned off, and
an additional set of thresholds associated with an additional sensor type of the additional sensor, wherein a third threshold of the additional set of thresholds is associated with the on-off status of the vehicle indicating that the vehicle is turned on and a fourth threshold of the additional set of thresholds is associated with the on-off status of the vehicle indicating that the vehicle is turned off;
receive the sensor data from the sensor;
identify, based on the on-off status of the vehicle, a threshold of the set of thresholds to compare to the sensor data;
detect whether an event causing damage to the vehicle has occurred or is expected to occur based on comparing the identified threshold to the sensor data;
activate, based on whether the event has occurred or is expected to occur, the camera to capture the video data of the scene associated with the vehicle; and
transmit, to one or more of a server or a mobile device of a user associated with the vehicle, an indication that indicates the event and the video data.
