  • Publication number: 20240246503
    Abstract: A vehicle inside view monitor monitors inside view of passenger compartment of vehicle which is parked. Vehicle inside view monitor includes living object sensor, environment determiner, environment improvement unit, and state-of-charge determiner. Living object sensor works detecting living object left in passenger compartment. When living object is detected, environment determiner determines whether deterioration condition of passenger compartment which is unsuitable for living object has occurred. When determined that deterioration condition of passenger compartment has occurred, environment improvement unit actuates at least one of a high-power improvement device and a low-power improvement device. State-of-charge determiner determines whether a state of charge of battery has reduced.
