Abstract

An image-sensing server performs moving-image transfer service by sequentially transferring live video images obtained by a video camera via a general network such as the Internet. When live video images are requested from an external device as a client on the network, a system controller controls data-transfer amount per unit time of an image obtained by image sensing by the video camera, in accordance with traffic status on the network, and transfers the image data to the external device.
