An information processing apparatus comprising: obtaining means configured to obtain first setting information including information related to a first specified area in an image captured by a pan tilt zoom camera and related to image analysis processing and second setting information including information related to a second specified area in the image and related to the image analysis processing of the same type as the first setting information, wherein the first setting information and the second setting information include pan/tilt information which indicates a pan/tilt position of the camera at a time when the setting information was created, and zoom information which indicates a zoom amount of the camera at a time when the setting information is created, wherein the second setting information has been created before the first setting information; determination means configured to calculate an overlapped area of the first specified area and the second specified area on a basis of the first setting information and the second setting information, by determining a second imaging direction and a second viewing angle of the camera on the basis of the pan/tilt information and the zoom information included in the second setting information and comparing with a first imaging direction and a first viewing angle of the camera determined on the basis of the pan/tilt information and the zoom information included in the first setting information, wherein the determination means is further configured to determine if the overlapped area is greater than zero; and decision means configured to decide processing to be executed with respect to at least one of the first setting information and the second setting information in accordance with a determination result of the determination means, wherein if the overlapped area is not greater than zero, first and second processing are not executed, and if the overlapped area is greater than zero, the decision means decides whether to execute first processing or second processing, wherein the first processing comprises performing display control for displaying a delete operation selecting screen for selecting whether or not to delete the second setting information, and deleting the second setting information if the user selects to delete the second setting information, and wherein the second processing comprises deleting the second setting information and performing display control for displaying a warning screen notifying the user that the second setting information has been deleted. obtaining means configured to obtain first setting information including information related to a first specified area in an image captured by a pan tilt zoom camera and related to image analysis processing and second setting information including information related to a second specified area in the image and related to the image analysis processing of the same type as the first setting information, wherein the first setting information and the second setting information include pan/tilt information which indicates a pan/tilt position of the camera at a time when the setting information was created, and zoom information which indicates a zoom amount of the camera at a time when the setting information is created, wherein the second setting information has been created before the first setting information;
