  • Publication number: 20060005045
    Abstract: A security apparatus and method automatically set and cancel a crime-prevention monitoring mode, while preventing unauthorized control. The security apparatus includes a portable terminal, carried by a person allowed to enter and exit a predetermined area, for transmitting address data identifying the person, an address data memory 34 for registering the address data, a receiver 10 for receiving the address data at the entrance to the predetermined area, a setting circuit 2 for selectively setting the crime-prevention monitoring mode, and a camera 11 for obtaining image data of the person passing through the entrance. A controller starts the camera when reception of the address data is started, and stops the photographing when the reception of the address data is ended. A comparison circuit compares image data stored in an image data memory with image data obtained when the address data is received and cancels the crime-prevention monitoring mode when a match occurs.
