To provide a vehicular photographing device that is able to reduce dew condensation that is generated in a space around a camera when a drive source in an ON-state in which heating means can be caused to generate heat changes to an OFF-state.SOLUTION: A vehicular photographing device comprises: an imaging device 22 disposed on a vehicle interior side of a glass window 100 provided in a vehicle and that images a subject located outside the vehicle via this glass window; a camera case 23 housing the imaging device; heating means 22, 32 that generate heat applied to a space between the glass and the camera case when a drive source switch 42 that switches between an ON-state for making a drive source of the vehicle operable and an OFF-state for making it inoperable is in the ON-state; and heating extension means that applies heat to the space over a predetermined time when the drive source switch changes from the ON-state to the OFF-state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】ON状態のときに加熱手段を発熱させることが可能な駆動源スイッチがOFF状態に切り替わったときに、カメラ周辺空間において発生する結露を少なくすることが可能な車両用撮影装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両に設けられたガラス窓100の車内側に配設された、前記ガラス窓を介して車外に位置する被写体を撮像する撮像素子22と、前記撮像素子を収納するカメラケース23と、前記車両の駆動源を動作可能にするON状態と動作不能にするOFF状態とに切り換える駆動源スイッチ42が前記ON状態にあるときに前記ガラスと前記カメラケースとの間の空間に及ぼす熱を発生する加熱手段22、32と、前記駆動源スイッチが前記ON状態から前記OFF状態に切り替わったときに、所定時間に渡って前記空間に熱を及ぼす延長加熱手段と、を備える。【選択図】図1
