<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute a video recording reservation for proxy by other pieces of equipment on a network reliably even in a situation that video recording cannot be performed by a power failure, a fault or the like in equipment by which video recording is reserved. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of pieces of video recording equipment 10-1 to 10-3 that are connected via a network 12 and have video recording and communication functions are connected to one another. When a video recording reservation processing section 26 performs the video recording reservation to an own video recording function, video recording reservation information is registered in a video recording reservation management table 22-1 at a storage section and the other pieces of equipment 10-2, 10-3 are notified of the video recording reservation registration via the network 12. When the registration notice of the video recording reservation of the other pieces of equipment 10-2, 10-3 is received from the network 12, a proxy video recording reservation processing section 28 acquires the registered video recording reservation information from the other pieces of equipment to register proxy video recording reservation information in a proxy video recording reservation management table 24-1 at the storage section. When video recording reservation execution notices of the other pieces of equipment 10-2, 10-3 corresponding to the proxy video recording reservation information are not received, the proxy video recording reservation processing section 28 uses an own video recording function for executing the proxy video recording reservation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
