NETWORK CAMERA, REMOTE MONITOR / CONTROL SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD EMPLOYING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide diversified services such as image monitoring, detection of intrusion, and home automation or the like.

SOLUTION: A user is registered to a network camera via a fixed IP address or a fluid IP address, and the network camera is network-connected to a user making an access request via the fixed IP address or the fluid IP address and transmits a monitoring image to the user. The network camera receives a panning / tilt adjusting signal from the network-connected user and adjusts the monitoring position of the camera by the signal. Further, the camera receives the power control signal of an external device from the network-connected user and controls the power supply of the external device by a power line control signal by using a power line control protocol. Further, the camera transmits an abnormal state monitor signal caused by an abnormal motion to a network-connected fault state reception server and the fault state reception server transmits a warning message by the fault state monitor signal to the network-connected user.
