<p>A surveillance camera apparatus (1) comprises a camera retaining assembly (4), a camera unit (3) being movable with respect to the camera retaining assembly (4) to a destined position and posture, a micro-computer unit (12) for producing a position signal indicative of the destined position and posture, and being operative to take two different operation states consisting of a regular state to produce a regular state signal indicative of the regular state for every first predetermined time interval, and an irregular state not to produce the position signal, a resetting unit (13) for resetting the micro-computer unit (12) to take the regular state, a camera driving unit (17) for driving the camera unit (3) to move, a camera drive control unit (27) being operative to take two different control states consisting of a first control state under which the camera unit (3) is driven to move to the destined position and posture represented by the position signal, and a second control state under which the camera unit (3) is driven to move into engagement with the resetting unit (13) to have the micro-computer unit (12) to be reset, and a control state setting unit (29) for setting the camera drive control unit (27) to take the first control state when receiving the regular state signal within a second predetermined time interval longer than the first predetermined interval, while setting the camera drive control unit (27) to take the second control state when not receiving the regular state signal within the second predetermined time interval. The surveillance camera apparatus (1) thus constructed can reduce an operation time and lessen a laborious task for the operator to reset the micro-computer unit (12). <IMAGE></p> |
