The present invention provides a vehicle-mounted imaging device that can notify a user of contamination, at a facility, a home or the vicinity thereof in which the user tends to easily eliminate the contamination on a lens or a protective glass of the lens of a camera. The vehicle-mounted imaging device includes: an accretion diagnosis unit 22 that diagnoses a state of the contamination that has been accreted on a lens of camera sections 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D or on a protective glass of the lens; and a contamination notification determination unit 23 that determines the presence or absence of a notification of the contamination, on the basis of positional information on a predetermined type of facility that is obtained from a navigation device 31 having a database 31b containing a GPS 31a, a map and peripheral facility information, and of a vehicle, wherein when it has been determined by the accretion diagnosis unit 22 that a contamination level is a threshold value or higher, a route to a destination has been set by the navigation device 31, and it has been determined by the contamination notification determination unit 23 that the facility exists in a predetermined distance range from the route, the vehicle-mounted imaging device notifies the user that there is the contamination, by the display device 32 and/or a speaker device 33 provided in the vehicle.
