Abstract

A monitoring camera apparatus, having a camera for recording a monitoring region with at least one object from a recording position of the camera. The apparatus also includes an actuator for changing the recording position of the camera and a control device for driving the actuator and the camera. A first image is recordable in a first recording position of the camera, and a second image is recordable in a second recording position of the camera. The first and second images show at least one identical subsection with the at least one object of the monitoring region as a common subsection. An evaluation device for evaluating the images of the camera is configured to determine depth information concerning the at least one object in the common subsection from the first and second images.
