摘要

According to the present invention, in a case where a body having the same movement as a person is to be monitored, the condition of the object to be monitored can be appropriately confirmed while protecting the privacy of the person. Provided are: a mask invalid region setting unit (27) for setting a mask invalid region inside a video of a monitoring area, in response to the input of a user operation; a moving body detecting unit (31) for detecting moving bodies from the video of the monitoring area and acquiring region information of each of the moving bodies; a processing target selecting unit (32) for selecting whether image regions of the moving bodies detected by the moving body detecting unit are to be subjected to a masking process, in response to whether the image regions are inside a mask invalid region; and a video output control unit (26) for targeting only the image regions of the moving bodies subjected to the masking process by the processing target selecting unit, and generating and outputting an output video in which the masking process is implemented.
