Abstract
A watching monitoring apparatus includes a monitoring camera and a home server, and monitors a watching space in which a watched person exists. The monitoring camera images the watching space. The home server includes a person detector that detects a person from a captured image, and classifies the detected person into a face part and a body part, a processing-drawing part that performs a processing-drawing process with respect to the body part except for the face part, an image synthesizer that creates a synthesized image of an image subjected to the processing-drawing process and the captured image, and a network part through which the synthesized image is transmitted to a display terminal of a watching person. When the detected person has not been registered in face information registration data in which face information of the watched person is registered, the processing-drawing process is not performed with respect to the person.
