[Problem] With prior art warning devices for vehicles, there is a risk of posing inconvenience to the driver, as well as a risk of the driver failing to notice a warning. [Solution] This invention is provided with an image capture device (1), a detection device (2), an image processing device (3), a primary warning device (4), and a secondary warning device (5). The image capture device (1) captures images of the surroundings of a vehicle (C). The detection device (2) detects vehicle information. The image processing device (3) detects target objects, such as pedestrians (P), from a fish-eye image (A0) of an entire range of surroundings of a vehicle (C) captured by the image capture device (1). If the image processing device (3) detects a target object, the primary warning device (4) displays the target object. If the image processing device (3) assesses that there is a high probability of contact between the vehicle (C) itself and the target object, the secondary warning device (5) transmits a sensory warning, such as a noise, vibration, or the like, to the driver. As a result, with this invention, a driver can be reliably prompted to use caution, without posing inconvenience to the driver.
