1. A display control device, comprising:
a memory that stores a program; and
a processor that is connected to the memory, wherein the processor performs first processing by executing the program, the first processing including:
detecting a number of lanes indicating one or more lanes, the lanes including a first lane on which a host vehicle travels;
determining a processing condition for an area, other than an essential display area including a predefined display area, from a captured image, obtained by imaging surroundings of the host vehicle, according to the number of lanes detected;
second processing of the captured image according to the processing condition determined; and
displaying the processed captured image on a display device,
wherein the determining of the processing condition includes determining a compression ratio in a vehicle width direction of the area other than the essential display area, and
the processor determines the compression ratio in the vehicle width direction of the area other than the essential display area such that the compression ratio is higher as the number of lanes detected is larger and is lower as the number of lanes detected is smaller.
