1. A data transmitter to be mounted on a vehicle driven so that a distance between the vehicle and an object detected from an area image representing the surroundings of the vehicle is not less than a predetermined distance threshold, the data transmitter comprising a processor configured to:
determine whether a confidence score indicating a degree of reliability of detection of the object from the area image is greater than a predetermined confidence score threshold;
transmit, when the confidence score is greater than the confidence score threshold, the area image or a face image representing the face of a driver of the vehicle to a terminal communicably connected via a communication network, together with a first setting for displaying the area image or the face image on the terminal in first mode; and
transmit, when the confidence score is less than the confidence score threshold, the area image to the terminal, together with a second setting for displaying the area image on the terminal in second mode that draws more attention of a user of the terminal than the first mode.
