Abstract:
1. A transmission apparatus configured to transmit an image captured by an imaging unit, the transmission apparatus comprising: a first control unit configured to control a first direction change mechanism for changing a first moving direction of the imaging unit, a second direction change mechanism for changing a second moving direction of the imaging unit, and a rotation mechanism for rotating the imaging unit, according to an instruction to change an imaging direction of the imaging unit; and a second control unit configured to restrict transmitting, to a transmission destination apparatus, an image captured by the imaging unit during rotation of the imaging direction if the first control unit makes the first and second direction change mechanisms change the imaging direction of the imaging unit and makes the rotation mechanism rotate the imaging unit according to the instruction, and to transmit the image captured by the imaging unit during changing the imaging direction of the imaging unit if the first control unit makes the first direction change mechanism change the first moving direction but does not make the second direction change mechanism change the second moving direction and the rotation mechanism rotate the imaging unit according to the instruction.
