ABSTRACT:
The vehicle monitoring system uses a plurality of video cameras mounted on various location of a vehicle to detect and display objects not readily visible to the vehicle operator. In particular, video cameras are placed on each side of the vehicle and, preferably, on the rear portion of the vehicle. Each camera is connected to a display unit and/or a video recorder through a video multiplexer which is controlled by a main controller. The views from different cameras are displayed or recorded in response to the position of a turn signal control switch. Alternatively, the cameras can be activated when a vehicle alarm is triggered or when the vehicle is hit from the behind.
