An automatic tracking camera system includes: an image pickup unit; a driving unit for rotating the image pickup unit in panning or tilting direction; a signal receiver for receiving an object information signal; an image signal processor for recognizing an object in an image and detecting motion of the object in the image; a controller for controlling the image pickup unit, the driving unit, and the image signal processor; and a memory for storing, for each passageway, standby positions at which the image signal processor detects the object. The controller calculates an approaching passageway and angle of the object; selects a corresponding standby position from the standby positions stored in the memory; drives the driving unit and a lens apparatus to the standby position; and controls, when the image signal processor recognizes the object, the driving unit and the lens apparatus to automatically track the object based on detected information. |
