摘要： A camera control system for displaying a video image inputted from a plurality of cameras, wherein in order to easily control each camera, a map showing positions of cameras is prepared. Along with the map, icons indicating the positions of cameras are displayed on the map so that the directions of the cameras can be identified on the map. An operator is able to select a camera referring to the map and see the video image of the selected camera. When each of the cameras is to be operated, an operator uses a pointing device to operate an icon for a camera on the map. In this camera control system, a camera corresponding to each icon can be controlled for zooming, panning, tilting and focusing by operating the icon for each camera. An operator may delete, add or move the icon for a camera according to an actual structure of the camera system.

摘要： When an access request (a request for transfer of video and audio information or a request for a camera operation) to a camera apparatus connected to a network via a terminal is issued via the network, a camera management server processes the access request on the basis of an access right set by a user (or a manager) using the terminal to which the camera apparatus is connected. That is, the camera management server refers to an access right set file and grants or denies permission to access for the user whose has issued the access request. The user to whom the access permission is granted requests a camera control server to permit a camera operation via a camera control client and thereby can receive an image taken by the camera apparatus and voices collected by the camera apparatus and can perform panning, tilting, and zooming of the camera apparatus. Accordingly, to protect the privacy of a user using a terminal to which a camera apparatus is connected, it is possible to realize fine setting meeting the demand of the user at all times. Also, in a location where a camera apparatus connected to a network is installed, it is possible to prevent a leak of confidential information through the camera apparatus.

摘要： This invention provides an image input system capable of setting an arbitrary imaging inhibited area. This system displays a map showing the positions of cameras arranged in an office and the directions in which these cameras can be aimed, or displays the view angles of the cameras. An operator designates an imaging inhibited area on the map. In accordance with the designated imaging inhibited area, a limiting direction is calculated for each camera, and each camera is so controlled as not to point in that direction. Even when cameras are fixed, the system controls display so that an imaging inhibited area is not displayed.

摘要： A motion detecting system which can set a proper set value for motion detection processing carried out by a camera server through a setting terminal. A setting terminal is connected to a camera server via a network for communication with each other. In the camera server, first motion detection processing is carried out for detecting a variation in an image taken by a camera based on a first set value. In the setting terminal, second motion detection processing is carried out on the taken image acquired based on a second set value via the network. The second set value is transmitted to the camera server so as to change the first set value according to a result of the second motion detection processing.

摘要： Image transmission method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving images among a plurality of terminals connected to a network, and an image transmission system including the apparatus. A video camera (30) is connected to each of a plurality of video communication terminals connected to a network (12), and an image picked up by the camera (30) of each terminal is exchanged with another communication terminal via the network (12). In this case, in a certain terminal, a plurality of images received from other terminals are displayed on a display (26), and the names of terminals which are receiving the image picked up by the video camera (30) of the terminal, and the name of a terminal (or the name of an operator) which is operating the video camera (30) of the terminal are also displayed on the display (26). Each terminal displays, on the display (26), an icon which allows an operator to recognize at a glance whether or not an image picked up by the camera of its own terminal is being monitored by another terminal, or generates a warning tone in correspondence with the monitor or operation state of the video camera (30) of its own terminal, thereby calling for an attention of the operator of its own terminal.
