Problem: To provide a vehicle monitoring system capable of checking a wide range of area at the rear of a vehicle to afford a high level of safety, without increasing an amount of protrusion from the side surface of the vehicle body.Solution: A vehicle monitoring system 1 is provided with a first camera 11 that shoots a first area at the rear side of a vehicle; a second camera 12 that shoots a second area further toward the inside in the width direction of the vehicle compared with the first area; an ECU 13 that combines videos captured by the two cameras; and a monitor 15 that displays the combined image. The first camera 11 is contained in an STSL 3 on a vehicle body side surface, and the second camera 12 is installed in an RCL 4 or a high mounted stop lamp at the rear of the vehicle body. A video processing circuit 14 performs correction to improve the visibility of the videos of an overlapping section captured by the cameras 11 and 12. The first camera 11 may be equipped with a wide-angle lens having a field of view angle greater than 90°.
