Then, the recording control unit 28 associates the accompanying information with the video data, reorders them while maintaining the order, and records them in the steering wheel external hard disk 29. As a result, the video data can be recorded on the external hard disk 29 in the wheelhouse without breaking the order of reception.

  As described above, according to the present invention, an image captured by the camera device 4 can be simultaneously displayed on the engine control room PC10 and the steering room PC installed at a location distant from the engine control room PC10. For example, when a fire occurs from a device in the engine room 10, the state of the fire is displayed on the engine control room display 15 and the wheelhouse display 25. The crew of the ship can check the video and perform fire fighting, fire spread prevention or evacuation. Further, the engine control room PC10 close to the engine room where the fire has occurred is highly likely to be destroyed by flame or heat. In this case, a more accurate action can be taken by displaying the state of the fire on the wheelhouse display 25 located at a location away from the engine room.

  Also, video data can be recorded on an external hard disk connected to each PC. In other words, the video data exists in four of the engine control room PC 10, the engine control room external hard disk 19, the steering room PC 20, and the steering room external hard disk 29. Therefore, by removing the steering room external hard disk 25 in the wheelhouse that is not easily affected by the fire in the engine room from the wheelhouse PC 20 after the fire occurs, the ship sinks or the power supply system of the ship is short-circuited. All of the video data can be prevented from being lost. That is, it can be used for verification of fire occurrence after voyage, and can be used to enhance the safety of future voyages.

  By making the incidental information tables stored in the engine control room PC10, the wheelhouse PC20, and the outboard PC30 all the same, the video data and the incidental information match in any PC. Can be displayed on the display.

  Next, transmission of video data from the wheelhouse PC 20 to the outboard PC 30 and processing of the video data in the outboard PC 30 will be described.

  When the video data is transmitted to the outboard PC 30 in the wheelhouse PC 20, the data transmission unit 26 is connected to the network 5 such as a public satellite line, for example, and the IP address of the outboard PC 30 that transmits the previously acquired video data. To communicate with the outboard PC 30. At this time, the data transmission unit 26 reads an identifier associated with the video data to be transmitted from the storage unit 23. Then, the data transmission unit 26 transmits the video data and the identifier to the outboard PC 30. In the case of transmitting a plurality of video data, the data transmission unit 26 performs ordering and transmission while maintaining the order stored in the storage unit 23. Then, the data transmission unit 26 disconnects the connection to the network 5 after transmitting the video data and the identifier.

  When the data receiving unit 32 of the outboard PC 30 receives the video data and the identifier from the camera device 4, the data receiving unit 32 passes the video data and the identifier to the control unit 31. The control unit 31 that has received the video data and the identifier stores the video data and the identifier in the storage unit 33 in association with each other.

  When the video data is stored in the storage unit 33, the display unit 34 reads the video data from the storage unit 33 and converts the video data into a video that can be displayed on the outboard display 35. At this time, the display unit 34 acquires an identifier associated with the video data to be displayed from the storage unit 33. Then, the display unit 34 refers to the accompanying information table stored in the storage unit 33 and acquires accompanying information associated with the read identifier. The display unit 34 that has acquired the accompanying information creates a display screen in which the accompanying information is added to the video, and displays the display screen on the outboard display 35 via the interface.

  In this way, the video data can be transmitted to the outboard PC 30 located outside the ship. Usually, unlike a land, a ship does not have a communication network, and when data is transmitted / received to / from an outboard PC 30, a satellite line having a high communication cost is used. Therefore, the network 5 is connected only when necessary. In the case where a fire occurs in a ship in such a situation and the cause needs to be investigated urgently, the present invention provides an image from the data transmission unit 26 of the wheelhouse PC 20 to the outboard PC 30 via the network 5. Data can be transmitted and emergency response is possible. For example, it is possible to call attention to a ship that uses equipment of the same type as that of a fire-occurring equipment in an engine room, or to repair the ship immediately.

  Since the engine room has various devices and devices, a plurality of camera devices 4 may be provided according to the devices and devices. In this case, since the camera device 4 is assigned a camera-specific identifier, the transmitted video data is divided into identifiers, and the video data is ordered in the order of transmission and stored in the storage unit. By doing so, the video is not interrupted or moved back and forth, and the video of another camera does not enter in the middle. Thereby, the video image | photographed with the camera apparatus 4 with which the several place was equipped can be confirmed with a display.
