PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for visual recognition around a vehicle offering simple construction allowing an occupant to easily recognize an obstacle around the vehicle. SOLUTION: A camera 13 built in a bumper is activated in linkage with distance measuring sensors 12 such as ultrasonic sensors installed at four corners 10 of the vehicle and an image picked up by the camera 13 is displayed on a display device in the vehicle. A relative position relationship between an owned vehicle and the obstacle is clearly displayed by imaging the corners of the bumper on the display screen of the display device 14. The distance measuring sensors 12 and the camera 13 are integrally assembled on the vehicle with the same casing. Thus, easy assembling work is achieved. When the approach of the obstacle is detected by the distance measuring sensors 12, the image picked up by the camera 13 is displayed on the display device 14 together with the sound of a buzzer 30, allowing the occupant to easily recognize the approach of the obstacle.
