Abstract:
A determination as to whether or not a random operation is able to be performed for a preset tour of a surveillance camera may be easily made, and user's operability may be improved. A client device transmits a command for making an inquiry about the capability of the surveillance camera for a random operation regarding a preset tour. The surveillance camera receives the command, and transmits capability information of the random operation to the client device. The client device analyzes the received information, and changes the GUI display of the client device.
