Abstract
An air conditioner includes a camera to capture an image of a drain pan inside the air conditioner. An air-conditioning management device acquires, from the air conditioner, captured image information indicating an image of the drain pan captured by the air conditioner. The air-conditioning management device compares the captured image information with reference image information indicating a captured image of the drain pan used as a reference to calculate a dirtiness degree. The air-conditioning management device transmits, to a monitoring terminal, information useful for monitoring of the drain pan, such as the capture image information, information indicating the dirtiness degree, and the like.
