Systems and methods for logging images using integrated cameras, lights, and sensors of a vehicle are provided. The system may include a handheld actuator, e.g., a key fob, having a button for initiating the taking of a photo or the start or stop of the recording of a video by the integrated cameras of the vehicle. Moreover, the actuator may select lighting settings such that the integrated lights of the vehicle may illuminate the vicinity of the vehicle to create a flash effect for a photo, or illuminate the vicinity of the vehicle for a video. The image data captured by the cameras may be at least temporarily stored, and transmitted to, e.g., a mobile device within a predetermined range of the vehicle.
