  • Publication number: 20220004778
    Abstract: A first motor is driven to move a camera configured to image an area (imaging area A) in front of a vehicle such that a vehicle cabin inside (imaging area C) is imageable, and a second motor is driven to move a camera configured to image an area (imaging area B) behind the vehicle such that a vehicle cabin inside (imaging area D) is imageable. The swing of the cameras by the motors enables imaging of the vehicle cabin inside with the cameras configured to image the vehicle cabin outside. For this reason, there is no need to prepare a camera that images the vehicle cabin inside, separately from the camera that images the vehicle cabin outside, and thus, it is possible to reduce cost as much.
