1. An image processing apparatus for processing an image captured by a camera, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a detection device for detecting a change in circumstances surrounding the camera;
an acquisition device for acquiring an image captured by the camera in response to detection by the detection device;
an extraction device for extracting, from the captured image, a partial image corresponding to an area in which the change in circumstances occurred; and
an output device for outputting the partial image extracted by the extraction device.

Abstract
In a network camera system, a camera unit detects a change in circumstances surrounding the camera unit. In response to detection of the change, the camera unit captures an image. Then, the camera unit extracts, from the captured image, a partial image corresponding to an area in which the change in circumstances occurred. The camera unit transmits the extracted partial image to a server unit.
