1. A network camera system that transmits video captured by a camera to a client device via a network, the network camera system comprising:
- a recording device directly connected to the camera or built into the camera; and
the client device configured to switch between a normal mode in which the camera transmits continuous video images, and a file transfer mode in which video captured by the camera is temporarily stored as a file in the recording device and the file is transferred to the client device in response to an instruction from the client device, whereinthe client device measures usage during the transmitting of the continuous video images in the normal mode over the network, and switches from the normal mode to the file transfer mode when the measured usage exceeds a preset usage value.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a network camera control program including instructions, which when executed by a client computer, causes the client computer to receive video captured by a camera via a network by performing a method comprising:
-
capturing continuous video images in the camera; and switching between a normal mode in which continuous video images captured by the camera are continuously received via the network, and a file transfer mode in which the continuous video images captured by the camera are temporarily stored as files in a recording device directly connected to the camera or built into the camera, and the files being received via the network, wherein the switching includes measuring, in the client computer, usage during the receiving of continuous video in the normal mode over the network, and switching from the normal mode to the file transfer mode when the measured usage exceeds a preset usage value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16)

17. A network camera control method for transmitting video captured by a camera to a client device via a network, the method comprising:
-
capturing continuous video images in the camera; and switching between a normal mode in which continuous video images captured by the camera are continuously received via the network and a file transfer mode in which the continuous video images captured by the camera are temporarily stored as files in a recording device directly connected to the camera or built in the camera and the files being received via the network, wherein the switching includes measuring, in the client computer, usage during the receiving of continuous video in the normal mode over the network, and switching from the normal mode to the file transfer mode when the measured usage exceeds a preset usage value.
