Vehicle rear side video monitoring system

A vehicle rear side video monitoring system installed in a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a CMOS (Comprehensive Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image pickup device installed in a specific position of a rear side of said motor vehicle and adapted to pick up and process an image of the scene behind said motor vehicle and to output a corresponding video signal;
• at least one high brightness LED (light emitting diode) installed in an another specific position of the rear side of said motor vehicle near said specific position;
• a display unit mounted inside said motor vehicle;
• a controller electrically connected to said CMOS image pickup device, said at least one high brightness LED, and said display unit, wherein said controller controls said at least one high brightness LED to give off light when controlling said CMOS image pickup device to pick up and process the image of the scene behind said motor vehicle, and controls said display unit to display the image of the scene behind said motor vehicle;
• and
• a starting device electrically connected to said controller and controllable to output a starting signal to said controller, said controller fetches said starting signal to accordingly drive said at least one high brightness LED to give off light,
• wherein said starting device comprises an electronic clock;
• said starting signal is an alarm signal produced by said electronic clock.
