ABSTRACT:
A monitoring system is provided that thoroughly covers an area subject to monitoring, through shooting areas of plural camera terminals, while shooting with resolution according to distribution of importance for monitoring. The monitoring system includes camera terminals, each including a camera having a shooting area adjustment function, a camera controlling unit controlling an adjustment of the shooting area of the camera, a communication IF communicating with an other camera terminal, and a processing unit adjusting a resolution of the shooting area of the camera terminal by controlling the camera via the camera controlling unit to reduce a difference between a weighted resolution of the shooting area of the camera terminal and a weighted resolution of shooting area of the other camera terminal based on information regarding the shooting area of the other camera terminal obtained through the communication IF.
