acquire, from an imaging apparatus which is located within a predetermined range having the specified place as a reference point, a video generated by the imaging apparatus;
specify a video reception apparatus carried by a guard whose distance to the specified place is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value;
transmit the acquired video to the specified video reception apparatus to cause the acquired video to be displayed on the video reception apparatus;
specify routes connecting the specified place and a location of the guard;
acquire, for each route of the specified routes, at least one image generated by at least one imaging apparatus whose imaging range includes the route; and
cause, for each route of the specified routes, the acquired at least one image to be displayed on a display device.
2. The video sharing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device is located at a place different from the location of the video reception apparatus, and
the at least one processor is further configured to:
receive information of selection of a route, the route being selected based on the displayed at least one image; and
transmit an image generated by an imaging apparatus whose imaging range includes the selected route to the specified video reception apparatus to cause the image to be displayed on the specified video reception apparatus.
3. The video sharing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device is equipped with the specified video reception apparatus.
4. The video sharing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the risk in the place is derived from at least any of traffic and flow rate obtained by analyzing a video of the place.
5. A video sharing method comprising:
specifying, based on a plurality of images generated by a plurality of imaging apparatuses in a surveillance target area, a place that has a risk exceeding a predetermined level, the plurality of imaging apparatuses including a mobile camera worn by a guard;
acquiring, from an imaging apparatus which is located within a predetermined range having the specified place as a reference point, a video generated by the imaging apparatus;
specifying a video reception apparatus carried by a guard whose distance to the specified place is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value;
transmitting the acquired video to the specified video reception apparatus to cause the acquired video to be displayed on the video reception apparatus;
specifying routes connecting the specified place and a location of the guard;
acquiring, for each route of the specified routes, at least one image generated by at least one imaging apparatus whose imaging range includes the route; and
causing, for each route of the specified routes, the acquired at least one image to be displayed on a display device.
6. The video sharing method according to claim 5 , wherein
the display device is located at a place different from the location of the video reception apparatus, and
the video sharing method further comprises:
receiving information of selection of a route, the route being selected based on the displayed at least one image; and
transmitting an image generated by an imaging apparatus whose imaging range includes the selected route to the specified video reception apparatus to cause the image to be displayed on the specified video reception apparatus.
7. The video sharing method according to claim 5 , wherein
the display device is equipped with the specified video reception apparatus.
8. The video sharing method according to claim 5 , wherein
the risk in the place is derived from at least any of traffic and flow rate obtained by analyzing a video of the place.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform:
specifying, based on a plurality of images generated by a plurality of imaging apparatuses in a surveillance target area, a place that has a risk exceeding a predetermined level, the plurality of imaging apparatuses including a mobile camera worn by a guard;
acquiring, from an imaging apparatus which is located within a predetermined range having the specified place as a reference point, a video generated by the imaging apparatus;
specifying a video reception apparatus carried by a guard whose distance to the specified place is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value;
transmitting the acquired video to the specified video reception apparatus to cause the acquired video to be displayed on the video reception apparatus;
specifying routes connecting the specified place and a location of the guard;
acquiring, for each route of the specified routes, at least one image generated by at least one imaging apparatus whose imaging range includes the route; and
causing, for each route of the specified routes, the acquired at least one image to be displayed on a display device.
10. The storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein
the display device is located at a place different from the location of the video reception apparatus, and
the program further causes the computer to perform:
receiving information of selection of a route, the route being selected based on the displayed at least one image; and
transmitting an image generated by an imaging apparatus whose imaging range includes the selected route to the specified video reception apparatus to cause the image to be displayed on the specified video reception apparatus.
11. The storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein
the display device is equipped with the specified video reception apparatus.
12. The storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein
the risk in the place is derived from at least any of traffic and flow rate obtained by analyzing a video of the place.
