A camera system for a first vehicle includes first and second exterior cameras that are configured to capture images outside of the first vehicle corresponding to legally prescribed views. First and second displays are arranged within a vehicle cabin of the first vehicle and are configured to depict the captured images respectively from the first and second exterior cameras. A controller is configured to identify a lighting characteristic of one or more vehicles using at least one of the first and second exterior cameras, recognize a target vehicle from the one or more vehicles by comparing the lighting characteristic to a database of emergency vehicle lighting characteristics for the location of the first vehicle, detect location information of the target vehicle relative to the first vehicle, and activate a warning device to provide the alert based upon the location information.
