ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The proximity detection and monitoring system provides an image of an area in front of a vehicle to a driver, and warns him of an obstructing object within the front area. The system comprises a television camera to be mounted to a front portion of the vehicle for converting the image of the area into a video signal; a monitor to be mounted inside the vehicle near the driver in his field of vision for displaying the image; a proximity detector to be mounted to the front portion of the vehicle for detecting a presence of an object within the area and transmitting a proximity signal indicative of the presence; an alarm responsive to the proximity signal, for producing a warning alarm perceivable by the driver; and a controlling unit receiving an activation signal and the proximity signal for controlling operation of the camera, the monitor and the proximity detector. The controlling unit includes a timer responsive to the activation signal for enabling the monitor to display the image and the alarm to produce the warning alarm for predetermined time durations respectively and for preventing the monitor from displaying the image and the alarm from producing the warning alarm during a non- surveillance mode of the system outside the predetermined time durations. A surveillance mode of the system is initiated by the activation signal, during which the image is displayed on the monitor and the alarm is enabled for the predetermined durations, after which the system returns to the non-surveillance mode.
