Patent ID: 10027874

Abstract:
An imaging device that can be connected to a client device through a network includes an imaging optical system 2, an imaging element 6, an IRCF driving circuit 24 configured to insert/remove an IRCF 4 to/from an optical path of the imaging optical system 2, and a communication circuit 14 configured to receive an automatic insertion/removal control instruction for causing the imaging device to automatically control insertion/removal of the IRCF 4 and additional information relating to insertion/removal of the IRCF 4 from the client device and configured to transmit operation information indicative of whether the imaging device uses the additional information received by the communication circuit 14 in a case in which the IRCF 4 is inserted to the optical path, in a case in which the IRCF 4 is removed from the optical path, or in both the cases of insertion and removal.
