Abstract

A mobile camera system is provided in which a user can view images of various desired locations while staying in a location remote from those locations. A control server acquires positions of a plurality of mobile camera apparatuses set up on mobile bodies such as vehicles, and images that are acquired by the mobile camera apparatuses, via radio communication. Then, the control server manages the positions and the images in its image DB. Then, in response to an imaging request that is issued from a terminal apparatus to designate a location (area), the control server searches for the image satisfying the request, in the image DB, or newly acquires the image satisfying the request, from the mobile camera apparatus. Then, the control server transmits the image to the terminal apparatus via radio communication.
