1. A vehicle recording control device, comprising:
a processor configured to:
A) acquire video data captured by an imager for capturing an image of a surrounding of a vehicle;
B) detect an event occurring on the vehicle;
C) operate a parking recording function for storing the video data based on detection of the event, while the vehicle is parked;
D) acquire surrounding information of the vehicle; and
E) determine whether the vehicle is in an environment where there is a high risk of an object colliding with the vehicle, based on the surrounding information acquired in step D), wherein
depending on a determination made in step E), it is performed in step C) to switch between: a first parking recording that causes the imager to start capturing the image upon detecting the event and that stores video data of a predetermined period in the first parking recording, as event recorded data; and a second parking recording that continuously records video data captured by the imager, that cuts out pieces of video data from the recorded video data by the imager, and upon detecting the event, that stores the pieces of video data in the second parking recording associated with periods of before and after a time when the event is detected,
it is performed in step D) to acquire wind speed information in a vicinity of the vehicle in addition to a distance from another vehicle that is the object adjacent to the vehicle, as the surrounding information of the vehicle, and
it is determined in step E) that the vehicle is in the environment where there is the risk of the object colliding with the vehicle, when the distance from the other vehicle adjacent to the vehicle is less than the predetermined value, and when an intensity of wind speed is equal to or higher than a threshold.
