Abstract: A camera apparatus including a wide area monitoring camera and an intensive monitoring camera as one body. The camera apparatus includes a main frame, a first camera unit and a second camera unit. The main frame has a lens installation surface where a normal line is directed to the lower outside. The first camera unit is installed in the main frame, has a wide angle lens disposed on the lens installation surface so as to direct an optical axis to lower outside and a first image sensor for converting light entering through the wide angle lens into an electrical signal, and photographs images of neighboring areas including an area directly below the camera apparatus. The second camera unit has a second image sensor and is installed so as to rotate horizontally and vertically with respect to the main frame.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a monitoring camera apparatus which directly detects motion in an image to control the pan/tilt/zoom of a centralized monitoring camera, and which transmits a wide area monitoring image and a centralized monitoring image together to a control device in a remote place, and also relates a remote monitoring system using same. The monitoring camera apparatus acquires monitoring images to be displayed in a remote control device (40), and controls a centralized monitoring imaging unit (20) without the assistance of the remote control device (40). The monitoring camera apparatus comprises a wide angle imaging unit (110), a control and signal-processing unit (120), and signal-transmitting units (160, 162). The wide angle imaging unit (110) acquires a wide angle image for a monitoring area.
