Abstract
A rock drilling rig and a method of monitoring drilling is provided. The rock drilling rig is provided with a boom and drilling unit therein. Drilling is monitored by a monitoring system having at least one monitoring video camera. Monitoring views of the camera is displayed on a display device. Several operational targets and target views for them are predefined for the system, whereby the target views are shown on the display device during progress of the drilling. The operator may monitor the drilling by the display device.
