Abstract
A night vision arrangement for a vehicle incorporating a camera. The camera comprises a window which is substantially transparent to infra-red light, a lens separate from the window, and an infra-red sensor to capture an image received through the window. A beam deflector is provided in alignment with the window to deflect a beam received through the window and directs the deflected beam through the lens on to the sensor. A display unit is provided to display the captured image to a driver of the vehicle.
