Abstract
A monitoring camera includes an imaging unit configured to capture an image of an imaging area, and a processor configured to determine a first intensity and a second intensity to be different from each other. The first intensity indicates an intensity of a noise reduction processing executed on an attention portion in the captured image of the imaging area, and the second intensity indicates an intensity of a noise reduction processing executed on a non-attention portion in the captured image. The first intensity is lower than the second intensity. The processor is configured to execute the noise reduction processing on the attention portion based on the determined first intensity, to execute the noise reduction processing on the non-attention portion based on the determined second intensity, and to output an image after the noise reduction processing.
