A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes a camera disposed within a cabin of a vehicle. Image data captured by the camera is transferred to and is processed at an electronic control unit (ECU). A light emitter that, when electrically operated to emit nonvisible light, illuminates at least a portion of the interior cabin that is viewed by the camera with nonvisible light. The vehicular cabin monitoring system, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera and transferred to the ECU, determines illuminance of nonvisible light at a region of interest within the illuminated portion of the interior cabin that is viewed by the camera. The vehicular cabin monitoring system, responsive to determining that the illuminance of nonvisible light at the region of interest is greater than a threshold illuminance, reduces intensity of nonvisible light emitted by the light emitter.
