An indoor camera includes: an image capturing unit; a storage unit configured to store at least one detection area in association with stagnation times, the detection area that is a target area for detecting stagnation of a pet, and the stagnation times indicating the number of times when the pet enters the detection area and stagnates in the detection area; and a processor configured to detect a position of the pet and count the stagnation times of the pet in the detection area based on captured images. If determining, based on the captured images, that the pet stagnates in the detection area for a predetermined time period or longer, the processor increments and counts the stagnation times of the pet in the detection area and generates an action log including identification information of the detection area and information on the stagnation times.

Indoor camera and action log recording system

A house monitoring system includes at least one sensor that detects a predetermined event, a master device that communicates with the sensor, and is connected to a fixed telephone network so as to perform calls to other fixed telephones, and a mobile phone terminal that includes a display/input unit, performs wireless communication with the master device by using a wireless router, and is connected to other mobile phones via a mobile phone network. When the sensor detects the predetermined event, the master device transmits information regarding the sensor having detected the predetermined event to the mobile phone terminal, and the mobile phone terminal displays the information regarding the sensor having detected the predetermined event transmitted from the master device on the display/input unit.
