In response to detecting a power outage and/or a voltage drop of the external power source, the controller controls the communication interface to stop supplying power to the data output apparatus.

Terminal apparatus

Provided is a monitoring device including: a captured image acquiring unit configured to acquire an image captured by a monitoring camera; a monitoring logic execution unit configured to generate a monitoring result corresponding to the image captured by the monitoring camera, by using a trained monitoring logic; an image transmitting unit configured to decimate the image captured by the monitoring camera and transmit a result to a learning apparatus performing training processing on another monitoring logic of a same type as the monitoring logic; a monitoring logic receiving unit configured to receive, from the learning apparatus, the other monitoring logic additionally trained by the learning apparatus by using the image from the image transmitting unit; and an updating unit configured to update the monitoring logic executed by the monitoring logic execution unit to the other monitoring logic received by the monitoring logic receiving unit.

Monitoring device, learning apparatus, method and storage medium

Provided is an apparatus including: a detecting unit configured to detect a state change of sound or light emitted from an external security apparatus to external environment; and a controlling unit configured to, in response to the detecting unit detecting the state change, cause a surveillance camera to capture images or apply a tag on image data being captured by the surveillance camera.

Apparatus, method and storage medium for detecting state change and capturing image

There is provide a device including: a first storage unit configured to store, when an object moves between separate image capturing areas which are captured by a plurality of surveillance cameras, a plurality of movement histories of the object between image data respectively captured by the surveillance cameras; an identification unit configured to identify, among the plurality of surveillance cameras, one surveillance camera that has captured a target object to track, and an image capturing time, according to an operation of an operator; and an estimation unit configured to estimate at least one other surveillance camera that is different from the one surveillance camera and that captures the target object, among the plurality of surveillance cameras, and an estimated time when the other surveillance camera captures the target object, based on the movement history and an identification result obtained by the identification unit.

An apparatus is provided comprising: a determination unit configured to determine a possibility of an abnormality of a subject based on images captured by a surveillance camera with an audio output function; an instruction unit configured to instruct the surveillance camera to produce audio toward the subject in response to the determination of the possibility of an abnormality; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a reaction of the subject to the audio from the surveillance camera; and a detection unit configured to detect whether the subject has an abnormality or not based on the reaction of the subject to the audio.

Provided is an apparatus comprising: a detection unit configured to detect a state of an electric lock provided at a doorway; a first monitoring camera arranged on the inside of the doorway; a judging unit configured to judge, at a reference time of day, whether the electric lock is locked; and a sending unit configured to send image data captured by the first monitoring camera or location information of the image data to a destination corresponding to the electric lock, when the electric lock is not locked at the reference time of day.
