DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTING SURVEILLANCE DEVICES

A dynamically adjusting surveillance system provides a monitor on one or both sides of a vehicle, each monitor including one or more cameras capturing an image that includes a key region. The monitors can display this key region to a driver of the vehicle. The key region can be updated based on the activities of the driver. For example, the key region can change to provide a desirable view for the driver before, during and after a turn is made. An angular sensor, or a steering wheel position sensor and odometer, can be used to detect the position of the vehicle in the turn to dynamically update the key region displayed to the driver. The key region can be changed at a sufficient frequency so that a gradual and smooth view is provided to the driver during the turn. This view may be in a consistent direction throughout the turn.
