1. An information recording device comprising:
a processor that executes instructions to:
acquire respective images which are captured by a plurality of cameras mounted in a host vehicle to perform a first function;
determine whether the host vehicle is being tailgated by an other vehicle according to a predetermined determination pattern for each of the respective images captured by the plurality of cameras;
cause a camera of the plurality of cameras to capture an image of surroundings of the host vehicle as a function other than the first function in response to determining that the host vehicle is being tailgated by the other vehicle; and
store each of the respective images to a storage device,
wherein the first function is a function of detecting at least the other vehicle which is present in a blind spot of the host vehicle, and
wherein when the function of detecting that the other vehicle which is present in the blind spot on each side is achieved by a first camera of the plurality of cameras that captures a first blind spot area on a rear right side and a second camera of the plurality of cameras that captures a second blind spot area on a rear left side among the plurality of cameras mounted in the host vehicle, the processor determines whether the host vehicle is being tailgated based at least in part on the other vehicle being present in each of the respective images captured by the first camera and the second camera within a predetermined time,
wherein the processor is a first processor, the instructions are first instructions, and wherein the host vehicle includes a second processor that executes second instructions to control one or both of steering and acceleration/deceleration, and
wherein the first function includes a function of detecting an object near the host vehicle such that the second processor, in response to executing the second instructions, performs driving control of the host vehicle.
