Abstract
Disclosed includes a method for providing an operation status of a video capture device over a network is provided. The method is performed by the video capture device and comprises: receiving a communication request from a terminal; determining, based on the communication request, one or more terminals connected with the video capture device; and transmitting status information of the video capture device to the network, the status information including information of the one or more terminals connected with the video capture device. Since the video capture device can transmit status information including information of one or more terminals to the network, after determining the one or more terminals are connected with the video capture device, information about which terminals are connected with the video capture device can become known to other devices connected with the network. As a result, the operation of the video capture device becomes more secure.
