  • Control apparatus and method of controlling
    Patent number: 10582109
    Abstract: A control apparatus controls an image capturing unit for which an image capturing direction is movable inputs at least one of a setting value for restricting a movable range for which the image capturing direction of an image capturing unit is movable, or a setting value for restricting a visible range for which displaying is permitted in a range capturable by moving the image capturing direction of the image capturing unit and controls one of the movable range or the visible range based on a setting value for restricting the other of the movable range and the visible range.
    Type: Grant

  • Recording control apparatus, recording control method, storage medium storing recording control program
    Patent number: 8965171
    Abstract: A recording control apparatus that is capable of recording a video image at the time of starting motion detection before an event generation without setting pre-event recording time. A detection unit detects a moving subject in a video image. A setting unit sets a type of an event that is generated when specified time elapses after the detection unit detects a moving subject. A control unit stores the video image into an storage unit from the detection of the moving subject by the detection unit until recording time corresponding to the type of the event set by the setting unit elapses.
