PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a monitor apparatus for a vehicle capable of more properly providing information on the surrounding state to a driver and passengers in displaying video images imaged by a plurality of imaging means within the vehicle. SOLUTION: The monitor apparatus includes an omnidirectional front camera 10 for imaging the state of the left and front directions of the vehicle of the vehicle; and a rear camera 9 for imaging a vehicle surrounding state in the rear downward direction. A display apparatus 20a installed on the interior of the vehicle displays an imaged video. A wide imaging range of the front camera 10 is separated into three narrow split imaging ranges (three corresponding split images). One or a plurality of video images are manually selected among video images in total four comprising the three split video images and the rear downward video image in the video images displayed on the display apparatus 20a. When a plurality of the video images are designated, the plurality of the video images are simultaneously displayed on the display apparatus 20a. For example, when a variable speed stage of a gear change is set to a backward position, the video image first displayed on the display apparatus 20a may be automatically selected from a video image taken by the rear camera 10.
