Description

上記目的を達成するために、本発明のカメラ制御装置は、例えば、以下の構成を有する。すなわち、カメラの撮像方向を変更するための駆動部に対する駆動指示に従って、前記駆動部が駆動される位置に関する位置情報を記憶するメモリから前記駆動部が駆動される位置を取得する取得手段と、前記駆動部の現在位置に応じた出力を受信する受信手段と、前記受信手段によって受信された出力に応じた前記駆動部の現在位置と、前記メモリから取得された前記駆動部が駆動される位置とが異なることを示す通知を出力する出力手段とを有する。 In order to achieve the above object, a camera control device of the present invention has, for example, the following configuration. That is, according to a drive instruction to the drive unit for changing the imaging direction of the camera, an acquisition unit that acquires a position where the drive unit is driven from a memory that stores position information regarding a position where the drive unit is driven ; receiving means for receiving an output corresponding to the current position of the drive unit, the position and the current position, the drive unit is obtained from the memory are driven in the driving unit according to the received output by said receiving means Output means for outputting a notification indicating that the two are different from each other.
