Abstract

PURPOSE:To image pick up an intruder without being perceived simply by the intruder in a dark structure by forming the surface of the structure being a background of an object of near infrared ray solid-state image pickup camera group by a material having a low reflectance to the near infrared ray. CONSTITUTION:Inner walls 14, a floor 15 and a door inside face 12a of a box shaped structure 11 having a door 12 are formed by a material on which an aluminum thin layer having a low reflectance to the near infrared ray is adhered. A light source 16 irradiating the near infrared ray is fitted to the upper side of an inner wall face 14a opposite to the door 12, and a reflected image of an object irradiated by near infrared ray is image picked up. A near infrared ray solid-state image pickup device 17 is fitted to a part positioned above the light source 16. When the near infrared ray from the light source 16 irradiates the intruder 13, the reflected light is received by the device 17, an output of the device 17 is displayed on a CRT display device via a cable 18. Thus, the intruder is detected without being perceived for the presence of the image pickup device by the intruder.
