Abstract

A dome type surveillance camera includes a plurality of cameras, and a controller which causes to display, on a display, video data of images captured by the plurality of cameras. One camera of the plurality of cameras is movable so that an imaging direction of the one camera turns toward a top of a cover which covers the plurality of cameras. The controller places, horizontally in a line, the images from some of the plurality of cameras, which do not turn toward the top, on the display, and places, substantially in a middle of and beneath or above the line, the image from the one camera which is movable so as to turn toward the top.
