知らせる。The monitoring camera 6 in the first monitoring device 1
In the state where the lens is disturbed by spraying, tape adhesion, or the like, the image of the monitored object is uniformly dark and flat, and the value of each pixel has little fluctuation. Therefore, the data amount of the compressed image data is much smaller than the data amount after normal compression. Therefore, when compared with a preset data amount threshold value, abnormality of the lens of the monitoring camera 6 is easily detected. Abnormality detection of the data amount described above is executed by the arithmetic processor 4, and an abnormality detection signal is input to the second monitoring device 2 via the communication control unit 7 and the communication line 8. When the received image data is normal, the second monitoring device 2 performs a decompression process and displays a still image on the display device 16 via the frame memory 15.
When the photographing disturbance to the monitoring camera 6 is detected, the message is displayed on the display device 16 and a warning is given by a warning device 18 to notify the monitoring person (operator).
