A camera system for a vehicle comprises: a camera 12 for capturing image data from a field of view FOV_c surrounding the vehicle 1; a display 16 to display the image data; and a processor 16 which determines the presence of an obstruction 30 in the field of view and which controls the display in dependence on the detection of an obstruction in the field of view. The display may not display an image when the vehicle is travelling above a predetermined speed, and/or when it is in a certain mode, and/or when the vehicle is located at a predetermined location. The camera may be located at the front and/or rear of the vehicle and the field of view encompasses a view perpendicular to the direction of travel. The camera system is particularly intended for assisting a driver to drive forwards or rearwards when their view is blocked to the side, for example when exiting a side street or parking space. However, the display is not activated when no obstruction is detected. |
