Abstract
The present invention provides a network camera system in which, when images are window-displayed, the images and audios can be outputted in association without requiring any special operation. The network camera system comprises one or more network cameras (2, 2a, 2b, 2c), each of which includes an applet/plugin transmission unit which transmits an applet for reproducing an image displaying window and a audio in association in a network terminal (1). The network terminal (1) window-displays an image accompanying the audio, contained in a received Web page, and it downloads the applet or the like from the camera. The applet or the like performs a control so as to emit the audio of the network camera corresponding to the window which a user has designated in the network terminal (1) by, for example, moving a cursor to this window and clicking it. Only the audio from the desired network camera can be outputted in such a way, for example, that the user merely locates the window corresponding to the network camera to the uppermost position by the operation of moving the cursor and clicking this window.
