Abstract
A camera control system is arranged to improve operability of at least a camera or each of a plurality of cameras for panning and tilting control over the camera by permitting simultaneous confirmation of the photo-taking postures of the camera in the direction of tilting as well as in the direction of panning. The operability is improved by arranging a tilt control panel to be displayed to permit control in the tilting direction of the camera when a camera icon indicative of the camera is selected on a map displayed at a monitor.
