Abstract
An object detection unit of a network camera detects an object including a human figure from image data. An event detection unit analyzes the image data based on a result of the object detection by the object detection unit. Based on a result of the image data analysis, an event detection unit determines to make identifiable to a client a human figure that should be monitored by the client and to apply masking to a human figure that should not be monitored by the client to make it unidentifiable to the client.
