Abstract
A work machine includes an object detection device, a photo shooting device, and a controller that controls starting of a prime mover. The controller determines whether or not an object exists around a machine body on the basis of a detection signal arising from detection by the object detection device. The controller starts the prime mover in a case in which a prime mover starting command has been acquired from an external information terminal and when it is determined that an object does not exist around the machine body. The controller transmits data of video shot by the photo shooting device and a starting approval request of the prime mover to the external information terminal without starting the prime mover in the case in which the prime mover starting command has been acquired from the external information terminal and when it is determined that an object exists around the machine body. The controller starts the prime mover when acquiring an approval command to the starting approval request of the prime mover from the external information terminal.
