PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve security and safety, enlarge an applicable scope and efficiency in image monitoring for navigation, and reduce its monitoring cost. SOLUTION: A plurality of vehicles with cameras and other sensors collect images and other data as a normal event, or upon demand, or when requested to do so by another vehicle, an occupant or a service center. The images are permanently stored in the vehicles and indexed in a directory at the service center, so that the images selectively sent to the service center or another vehicle without consuming a storage space at the service center. In the case the service center manages sufficient current data for an area, the service center generates a suspension signal to discard or instruct the vehicles not to send further images from that area.
