Abstract

An example camera device includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, and a storage unit configured to store first attribute information of a target object used for identifying the target object from the image. The camera device also includes an identification unit, a requesting unit, and a storage control unit. The identification unit is configured to identify the target object in the image captured by the image capturing unit based on the first attribute information. The requesting unit is configured to request an external device to identify the target object when the identification unit is not able to identify the target object. The storage control unit is configured to receive second attribute information of the target object from the external device that is requested to identify the target object, and control the storage unit to store the second received attribute information.
