An apparatus for detecting an emergency/law enforcement vehicle from a secondary vehicle. The apparatus includes: at least one camera mounted on the secondary vehicle; a display surface mounted inside an interior of the secondary vehicle for displaying video image data from the at least one camera; at least one of a pan, tilt, and zoom motor operatively connected to the at least one camera for providing an enhanced view of an emergency/law enforcement vehicle displayed on the display surface; and a controller for controlling the at least one pan, tilt, and zoom motors to provide the enhanced view. The apparatus alternatively also has the capability to detect, track and/or classify an emergency/law enforcement vehicle in the video image data.
