A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that an engine inlet of an engine of the aircraft is within the field of view of the camera. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera to determine whether persons or foreign objects are present near the engine inlet, or detect damage or deformation of the engine inlet.
