Abstract: When the camera surveillance mode is set, the signal waveform data of the input video image from the camera is compared with the signal waveform data of the reference video image stored in advance in the memory. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a change in the signal of the input video image from the camera. When it is determined that there is a change in the signal of the input video image from the camera, then it is determined whether or not a number of scan lines in the signal of the input video image exceeds the set scan line change quantity that corresponds to a surveillance level selected by a user from among a plurality of surveillance levels. When it is determined that the number of scan lines in the signal of the input video image from the camera exceeds the set scan line change quantity, a warning is generated, thereby notifying an intruder.
