I'd say "Eyes in the Sky" (the product that georgetw referred to) are on the right track. Some of the other solutions just collect engine data, which is not enough to investigate an accident, let alone to track exceedances.
You need pressure altitude and OAT to determine max cont power, max take-off power, max avail power and VNE. You need IAS to compare against VNE and other prescribed manoeuvre speeds. Etc.
In an aircraft with 'steam gauges' this practically can only be picked up visually. However, as the demo on Patterson's website shows, lack of resolution and ever changing lighting condition including stark shadows can be a formidable challenge when trying to read all this data, let alone have it analysed automatically.
