Abstract:
A camera device includes a first IR illuminator that is configured to irradiate a first irradiation range in a capturing area with first IR light, a second IR illuminator that is configured to irradiate a second irradiation range narrower than the first irradiation range in the capturing area with second IR light, and a controller that is configured to obtain a zoom magnification of the lens and controls the irradiation of the first IR light and the second IR light in a case where the zoom magnification is equal to a predetermined zoom magnification. The controller changes a supplied current of the first IR illuminator for the irradiation of the first IR light over a first predetermined time period, and changes a supplied current of the second IR illuminator for the irradiation of the second IR light over a second predetermined time period.
