Abstract: An image pickup device transmits to a server a transmission sample including a detection image detected by a first detection section from a transmitting/receiving section under the control of a transmission sample control section. The server performs detection processing that requires more resources than those of the first detection section on the detection image transmitted by a second detection section from the image pickup device, and determines whether or not the detection image in question is spurious, based on a second detection score which is thereby obtained. A transmission frequency deciding section generates transmission frequency control information such as to raise the transmission frequency by an image pickup device that has a high frequency of spurious detection; a transmitting/receiving section transmits the transmission frequency control information to the image pickup device.
