A surveillance camera system includes a first camera 5 having an angle of view θ1, a second camera 6 which is a combination of two camera modules 6a, 6b each having an angle of view θ2, a third camera 7 which is a combination of three camera modules 7a, 7b, 7c each having an angle of view θ3, and a local camera 8 having an angle of view θs. The first to third cameras 5 to 7 act as area surveillance cameras to which the optimum shooting distance is set, respectively. The local camera 8 takes a shot of a local area, which is set in a shooting area of the third camera 7, at the narrowest angle of view θs. The respective cameras take a shot individually under automatic exposure control.
