7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the interface is further configured to provide an indication on the map of a location region associated with the location data.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the interface is further configured to provide an indication on the map of the digital video recorder storing state.

9. The system of claim 5 , wherein the interface is additionally configured to receive a user indication indicating a region on the map.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the region is a polygon, the region follows geographic boundaries, the region follows political boundaries, or the region comprises a military location.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital video recorder storing state is determined based at least in part on the location data.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital video recorder storing state is determined based at least in part on a logic flow.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises an indicator for indicating that the transfer of video data to the digital video recorder is disabled.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is additionally configured to:

determine an event detection state;

in response to the event detection state being a prohibited state, disable event detection from the video data; and

in response to the event detection state being not the prohibited state, enable event detection from the video data.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the event detection state is based at least in part on one or more of the following: the location data, a time, a date, a geofenced region, and/or a logic flow.

16. A method comprising:

receiving video data from an outward facing vehicle camera;

receiving location data from a geolocation device;

determining, using a processor, a digital video recorder storing state, wherein the digital video recorder storing state is determined based at least in part on a time and/or a date, comprising:

determining whether the digital video recorder storing state is in a prohibited state based on the location being located within a geofenced region, the time and/or the date, comprising to:

performing one or more of the following:

1) determining whether a location is located within the geofenced region; and

in the event that the location is located within the geofenced region, determining that the digital video recorder storing state is in the prohibited state;

2) determining whether the date falls within a prohibited state date range; and

in the event that the date falls within the prohibit state date range, determining that the digital video recorder storing state is in the prohibited state; and/or

3) determining whether the time falls within the prohibited state time range; and

in the event that the time falls within the prohibit state time range, determining that the digital video recorder storing state is in the prohibited state; and

performing one or more of the following:

determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the more strict rule of either a small nested region or a larger region;

determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the less strict rule of either the small nested region or the larger region;

determining the digital video recorder storing state based on a rule of the larger region superseding a rule of the small nested region; and/or

determining the digital video recorder storing state based on the rule of the small nested region superseding the rule of the larger region;

in response to the digital video recorder storing state being the prohibited state, disabling transfer of video data to the digital video recorder; and

in response to the digital video recorder storing state being not the prohibited state, enabling transfer of the video data from the outward facing video camera to the digital video recorder for storage.

17. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving video data from an outward facing vehicle camera;
