1. A system for monitoring potential failure in a bearing or a portion thereof, the system comprising:
a bearing comprising:
an inner ring;
an outer ring; and
one or more intermediate elements positioned between the inner ring and the outer ring, configured to accommodate motion between the inner ring and the outer ring;
one or more image sensors positioned on a ring shaped body sized to fit near the vicinity of or about the bearing, to image at least a portion of the inner ring, the outer ring or the intermediate elements of the bearing; and
at least one processor in communication with said one or more image sensors,
the at least one processor being executable to:
receive signals from the at least one image sensor;
perform an image analysis of the received image signals to detect whether the received image signals comprise a fault associated with a mode of failure of the bearing; and
for a detected fault, output a signal indicative of the identified mode of failure.
