1. A monitoring system of a specific area, comprising:

  • monitor terminals, which have a monitoring device having at least an image pickup unit, a communication device for transmitting monitor information of the monitoring device to an external monitor, and a moving device for moving within the area to be monitored, which is made up of a moving cart moving in the moving path that is installed in said area to be monitored; and

    a monitor, which is data-communicably connected to said monitor terminals and has a display device that receives the monitor information transmitted from the monitor terminal and is capable of displaying at least a monitor image by said image pickup unit, and an operating device for operating the movement of said monitor terminals, in which the monitoring system performs remote monitoring of the area to be monitored where said monitor terminals are installed, by said monitor, wherein said monitoring system includes a monitor image switching device that switches monitor images from a plurality of said monitor terminals and transmits the images to the monitor, in which said monitor terminals have a proximity detecting device for detecting another monitor terminal existing in close proximity on a same moving path or an adjacent moving path by moving, the monitor terminal transmits the detection information of another monitor terminal to said monitor image switching device when the proximity detecting device detects another monitor terminal, and said monitor image switching device switches an image to be transmitted to said monitor to the monitor image of another monitor terminal existing in close proximity based on the received detection information of the monitor terminal.
