To provide a vehicle information recording device capable of reliably recording information to be recorded on a recording medium even when limited electric energy is supplied.

When a signal indicating a command to record the information of images taken with a camera 6 is issued, and a power detection part 52 for a main power source detects the absence of electric power supply from a vehicle power source part 50, a CPU 11 performs a second recording operation which differs from a first recording operation in a manner that a predetermined part of the image information stored in a second SD-RAM 32 on a frame-by-frame basis can be recorded on a CF card 3 by using the electric power supplied from a backup power source part 27.
