Claim:
1. A control apparatus comprising: a communication unit configured to receive, via a network, at least one of a first command for outputting a rotated captured image, the captured image being obtained by an image pickup unit, and a second command for changing a coordinate system that is used for changing an image capturing direction in which the image pickup unit is aiming to capture an image from a first coordinate system to a second coordinate system which has been rotated by a certain angle from the first coordinate system; and a control unit configured to execute, if the communication unit receives one of the first command and the second command, control to execute a first process corresponding to the first command and a second process corresponding to the second command, wherein, if the communication unit receives a command specifying a first coordinate before the second process is executed, the control unit causes the image pickup unit to capture an image in a first direction based on the first coordinate system, and wherein, if the communication unit receives the command specifying the first coordinate after the second process is executed, the control unit causes the image pickup unit to capture an image in a second direction different from the first direction, based on the second coordinate system.
