  • Patent number: 11233929
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus, comprising, an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, a communication unit configured to communicate with a client and a server via a network, and a processing unit configured to execute first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server, wherein the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of the image, and after the first processing and the second processing have been started, the processing unit stops the first processing when the communication unit has established the communication with the server, and does not stop the first processing when the communication unit has not established the communication with the server.

  • Patent number: 10536631
    Abstract: A video display apparatus comprises an obtaining unit configured to obtain installation data representing an installation condition of a camera; an accepting unit configured to accept a movement of a cut position of a cut video obtained by cutting a part of a video captured by the camera; and a control unit configured to, based on the installation data, switch an image representing a moving direction of the cut position on the video in a case in which the movement is accepted by the accepting unit and superimpose the image on the video.

  • Patent number: 9966046
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of mutually communicating with an external apparatus via a network includes a first generation unit, a second generation unit, a determination unit, a setting unit, a first control unit, and a transmission unit. The first generation unit generates a first image in a predetermined image size. The second generation unit generates a second image to be superimposed on the first image. The determination unit determines a protocol type of a control command for controlling the first generation unit and the second generation unit, wherein the control command is received via the network. The setting unit sets an image size of the first image. The first control unit changes a settable range of the image size set by the setting unit according to a determination result of the determination unit. The transmission unit transmits the first image via the network.

  • Patent number: 9571729
    Abstract: A monitoring camera includes an image pickup unit which captures an image of an object, a communication unit which receives superimposition information from a client apparatus through an IP network, a controller which determines whether the received superimposition information is larger than a first amount, an OSD generation unit which outputs part of the received superimposition information when the superimposition information is larger than the first amount and outputs the received superimposition information when the superimposition information is not larger than the first amount, and a compressing/encoding unit which superimposes the output superimposition information on the captured image.
