Abstract
A camera system includes a remote camera, a beacon signal transmission apparatus that is disposed at a location corresponding to a preset point and transmits a beacon signal, and an electronic device that receives the beacon signal. One or both of the remote camera and the electronic device include a storage unit, a distance determination section, and a control command generation section. The storage unit stores information regarding the preset point. The distance determination section estimates a distance between the tag device and the beacon signal transmission apparatus, based on a reception intensity of the beacon signal. When the distance estimated by the distance determination section is less than a predetermined value, the control command generation section generates a control command that causes the remote camera to face the preset point, based on information stored in the storage unit.
