Abstract: In a monitoring system, a master device transmits predetermined sound source list data to a mobile phone terminal in response to a first operation on a display/input unit. The mobile phone terminal displays the predetermined sound source list data transmitted from the master device on the display/input unit, and transmits information regarding a selected sound source to the master device in response to an operation of selecting one sound source from the sound source list data. When the information regarding the sound source is received from the mobile phone terminal, the master device outputs selection audio data corresponding to the information regarding the selected sound source from a speaker of a monitoring camera.

Abstract: In a monitoring camera system, a master device registers a smart phone and a wireless router therein in advance. If sensor detection information is received from a human sensor, the master device requests a monitoring camera to transmit image/audio data, and sends image/audio data transmitted from the monitoring camera to the smart phone via the wireless router. The smart phone displays the image data sent from the monitoring camera on a touch panel.

Abstract: A dielectric ceramic that forms dielectric ceramic layers of a multilayer ceramic capacitor contains a Ba and Ti containing perovskite compound, Ca, R (R denotes a rare earth element, such as La), M (M denotes Mn or the like), and Si.

Abstract: In a monitoring system, a master device stores setting information indicating a predetermined state for detecting a target by using a sensor in a storage unit, and transmits the setting information to a camera (a baby monitoring camera or a monitoring camera) having a sensor built thereinto or correlated with a sensor so as to set a detection parameter therein. When the predetermined state set by the detection parameter is detected, the camera transmits a detection notification to the master device. When the detection notification is received from the camera, the master device transmits detection notification information to a smartphone, and the smartphone displays a detection information screen based on the detection notification information transmitted from the master device on a display/input unit.

Abstract: In a monitoring system, a master device that is connected to a fixed telephone network so as to perform calls to other fixed telephones sets a power supply device to an operation mode in a case where a mobile phone terminal is located within a wireless communication range of the master device, and sets the power supply device to an operation stop mode in a case where the mobile phone terminal is not located within the wireless communication range of the master device. A power supply device is connected to an electric apparatus disposed in a house, supplies power to the electric apparatus in a case where the operation mode is set by the master device, and does not supply power to the electric apparatus in a case where the operation stop mode is set by the master device.
