Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle-mounted camera system equipped with a vehicle-mounted camera which captures an image of surroundings of a vehicle includes a margin-of-communication obtainer and a restriction determiner. The margin-of-communication obtainer works to determine a value of the margin of differential signaling between the vehicle-mounted camera and the control apparatus. When the value of the margin of differential signaling is lower than a restriction threshold value, the restriction determiner restricts at least one of a communication characteristic of the differential signaling, an application using the captured image, a frame rate in the vehicle-mounted camera, and an image-capturing area. This achieves the control apparatus for the vehicle-mounted camera system which is high in robustness in the differential signaling.
