The camera controlling apparatus includes a preset control section for outputting a preset control signal for moving the camera at a first turning speed to a predetermined point, and a self room manual control section for outputting a self room manual control signal for moving the camera at a second turning speed lower than the first turning speed. The camera controlling apparatus further includes a reception manual control section for outputting a reception manual control signal for moving the camera at a third turning speed lower than the second turning speed in response to a manual signal transmitted thereto by way of a communication line. Any of the control signals is inputted to a speed control section, and the camera is controlled to be turned at a turning speed represented by the thus inputted control signal by the speed control section.
