A recording control apparatus comprising: a video acquisition unit configured to acquire video data capturing a scene around a vehicle; a recording control unit configured to record the video data in a predetermined area and define that at least a portion of the video data should be saved; and an event detection unit configured to detect the occurrence of predefined events, wherein the event detection unit is configured to detect a trigger event, which is a save-triggering event that triggers saving of the video data, or a marking event, which is an event not triggering saving, which is different from the trigger event and for which it is defined that a point of time of detection thereof should be recorded, the recording control unit is further configured to record, when the event detection unit detects the marking event, the point of time of detection of the marking event, and define, when the event detection unit detects the trigger event within a first standby period defined in association with the marking event after detection of the marking event, that continuous video data for a period of time including both the point of time of detection of the marking event and the point of time of detection of the trigger event should be saved as overwrite disabled, define, when the event detection unit detects the trigger event outside the first standby period but within a second standby period, defined in association with the marking event and longer than the first standby period, after the detection of the marking event, that video data including a video at the point of time of detection of the marking event and video data including a video at the point of time of detection of the trigger event should be associated with each other and saved separately, the event detection unit is configured to detect occurrence of a plurality of types of events as marking events, and individual standby periods are defined for respective types of marking events. a video acquisition unit configured to acquire video data capturing a scene around a vehicle; a recording control unit configured to record the video data in a predetermined area and define that at least a portion of the video data should be saved; and an event detection unit configured to detect the occurrence of predefined events, wherein the event detection unit is configured to detect a trigger event, which is a save-triggering event that triggers saving of the video data, or a marking event, which is an event not triggering saving, which is different from the trigger event and for which it is defined that a point of time of detection thereof should be recorded, the recording control unit is further configured to record, when the event detection unit detects the marking event, the point of time of detection of the marking event, and define, when the event detection unit detects the trigger event within a first standby period defined in association with the marking event after detection of the marking event, that continuous video data for a period of time including both the point of time of detection of the marking event and the point of time of detection of the trigger event should be saved as overwrite disabled, define, when the event detection unit detects the trigger event outside the first standby period but within a second standby period, defined in association with the marking event and longer than the first standby period, after the detection of the marking event, that video data including a video at the point of time of detection of the marking event and video data including a video at the point of time of detection of the trigger event should be associated with each other and saved separately, the event detection unit is configured to detect occurrence of a plurality of types of events as marking events, and individual standby periods are defined for respective types of marking events.
