摘要

An imaging device that can be connected to a client device through a network includes an imaging optical system 2, an imaging element 6, an IRCF driving circuit 24 configured to insert/remove an IRCF 4 to/from an optical path of the imaging optical system 2, and a communication circuit 14 configured to receive an automatic insertion/removal control instruction for causing the imaging device to automatically control insertion/removal of the IRCF 4 and additional information relating to insertion/removal of the IRCF 4 from the client device and configured to transmit operation information indicative of whether the imaging device uses the additional information received by the communication circuit 14 in a case in which the IRCF 4 is inserted to the optical path, in a case in which the IRCF 4 is removed from the optical path, or in both the cases of insertion and removal.

1. A client device that can make communication with an imaging device through a network, the imaging device including an imaging optical system, an imaging unit configured to take an image of an object formed by the imaging optical system, an infrared cut filter configured to cut infrared radiation, an inserting/removing unit configured to insert/remove the infrared cut filter to/from an optical path of the imaging optical system, and a control unit configured to control the inserting/removing unit based on adjustment information relating to insertion/removal of the infrared cut filter, the client device comprising:
a receiving unit configured to receive insertion/removal specification information relating to the adjustment information from the imaging device through the network; and a user interface unit configured to allow a user to specify the adjustment information based on the insertion/removal specification information received by the receiving unit, wherein the insertion/removal specification information indicates whether different pieces of the adjustment information, which is used by the control unit, can be individually specified, or the adjustment information can be commonly specified, for a case in which the infrared cut filter is inserted to the optical path and a case in which the infrared cut filter is removed from the optical path.
