Remote-control method and apparatus for rotating image device

摘要

A method of remotely controlling the direction of a camera which is rotatively supported by a remote control device. Several remote control devices are coupled by a communication line. The communication line is used both for transmitting image information and for transmitting instruction information. An input instruction can be input to a first remote control device directly at the first side or transmitted through the communication line from a second remote side. The camera is rotated at a one speed if the instruction is received directly from the first side, or at a second, slower speed if the instruction is transmitted through the communication line from the second remote side.
