Abstract: There is provided an endoscope camera that achieves closer cumulative tolerance of a camera head and achieves improved accuracy in positioning the camera head. An endoscope camera includes a cylindrical hard case, a camera head provided at a distal end portion of the hard case, and a cover attached to the distal end portion of the hard case which covers the camera head. A rib wall having a holding section is provided inside the cover, and an abutment section which is held by the holding section is provided at the camera head. The abutment section is biased toward the holding section.

Abstract: Arbitrarily setting display patterns of live pictures or reproduced pictures per monitoring area in accordance with the purpose of use. Video signals 41 of the picture shot by monitoring cameras installed in a plurality of locations are digitized per monitoring area using the predetermined standard and recorded on video recording apparatus 8. The video signals 41 are displayed on a monitor (not shown) as live pictures. In this practice, the signals undergo the multi-screen processing via multi-screen reproduce/decoding control means 11 and displayed on screens split by monitoring camera in a monitoring area or by monitoring area.

Abstract: An in-frame encoding section performs in-frame compression for each frame of input image or video data to obtain in-frame compression data. A main recording medium stores the in-frame compression data. An in-frame decoding section reads the in-frame compression data from the main recording medium and obtains reproduced image or video data. A compression converting section reads a plurality of in-frame compression data from the main recording medium and converts them into an inter-frame compression data. And an output control section outputs the inter-frame compression data to an external device.
