  • a list of imaging devices with IP addresses is displayed as shown in FIG.
  • the imaging devices are grouped for each vehicle. This setting is stored as management information by the management apparatus K, and group information is transmitted to each imaging apparatus. Based on this, each imaging apparatus calculates and executes the recording schedule described in the first embodiment.
  • the management device K may automatically perform ideal grouping (a combination of imaging devices that can use the recording capacity most efficiently). In this case, based on the ratio of the average recording amount of each imaging device collected so far, set the group of imaging devices so that the ratio of the average recording amount becomes equal, and set the recording reservation area in advance. deep. As a result, the operator's trouble can be saved, and the recording capacity can be used more efficiently.

  • the imaging apparatus mainly obtains the recording schedule and the priority order based on the grouping.
  • the management apparatus K obtains the recording schedule and manages the whole. That is, in the first embodiment, the management apparatus K executes a process in which the imaging apparatus confirms a free capacity with respect to other imaging apparatuses, sets a recording reservation area, and determines a priority order.
  • the configuration is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and is omitted.
  • the management apparatus K communicates with each apparatus, signals are exchanged via the switch unit W. It will be described that the switch is passed only once, and the description is omitted on the assumption that the switch is passed thereafter.
  • the imaging device 1-1 of the first vehicle the imaging device 2- of the second vehicle, 2.
  • Each imaging device performs an imaging / recording operation according to door opening / closing information, and the management device K monitors the recording status of each imaging device. Specifically, in the case of the first group, the management device K sends a command for confirming the recording amount and returning the command to the imaging device 1-1 via the switch W1, and the imaging device 2 via the switches W1 and W2. -2, imaging device 3-3 via switches W1, W2 and W3, imaging device 4 via switches W1, W2, W3 and W4 -4. Receiving this command, each imaging device confirms the current recording amount of its own device and transmits recording state information to the management device K. The management device updates the received recording status of each imaging device.

  • a recording schedule is obtained based on the average usage amount of each of the imaging devices, a priority order is determined, and a recording reservation area is set for the target imaging device. Then, at the timing when there is no room in the free space of the imaging device with the largest recording amount, video data is transmitted to another imaging device according to the priority order.
  • the reason why the recording schedule is not calculated at the timing when the recording capacity has run out as in the first embodiment is that the management apparatus K manages all the groups, and the calculation timing of the recording schedule overlaps and the load is increased. This is to avoid concentration. However, there is no problem even if the recording schedule is calculated at the timing when the recording capacity is not sufficient as in the first embodiment.
  • the management device K monitors the recording status of each imaging device, and when the free space of the imaging device 1-1 decreases, the management device K is based on the recording status and average usage of other imaging devices. Find the record schedule and determine the priority. At this time, the priority order is an imaging device 4-4 with a small recording amount. The imaging device 3-3 and the imaging device 4-2 are arranged in this order.
  • the management device K includes an imaging device 4-4, A command is transmitted to the image capturing apparatus 3-3 and the image capturing apparatus 4-2 so as to set a recording reservation area. A recording reservation area is set in the recording area. When there is no more free space in the imaging device 1-1, the management device K gives the image data 4-highest priority to the imaging device 1-1 to the imaging device 1-1.
  • the imaging device 1-1 receives the imaging device 4 according to the command. 4 is transmitted to the image pickup apparatus 4-4, and the image pickup apparatus 4-4 receives the image pickup apparatus 1 received in its own recording reservation area. -1 video data is recorded.
  • the second and third imaging devices that have no free space in the group appear.
  • the recording reservation area is reset for the imaging device other than the imaging device that has already been recorded by the imaging device that has already run out of free space, and the alternative recording is performed.
  • the management apparatus K deletes or reduces the recording reservation area for the imaging apparatus 1-1 based on the average usage amount or the like with respect to the imaging apparatus 3-3, thereby generating a recording reservation area for the imaging apparatus 2-2.
  • the command is transmitted so as to set, and the imaging device 3-3 resets the recording reservation area in the recording area of the own apparatus according to the command.
  • the management device K transmits a command to the imaging device 1-1 so that video data is transmitted to the imaging device 4-4.
  • the imaging device 1-1 transmits the video data to the imaging device 4-4 according to the command, and the imaging device 4-4 records the received video data of the imaging device 1-1 in its own recording reservation area.
  • the image capturing device 4-4 since the image capturing device 4-4 records the video data of the image capturing device 1-1 as a substitute, the image data of the image capturing device 2-2 is not a target to be recorded as a substitute.
  • a recording reservation area is set and a priority order is determined.
  • the management device K acquires the imaging device 3- In order to record in the recording reservation area for the image pickup apparatus 1-1 reduced to 3 and reset, a command is transmitted to the image pickup apparatus 1-1 so as to transmit video data to the image pickup apparatus 3-3.
