Abstract:
The present disclosure in some embodiments provides a method of setting a captured image by a pan-tilt-zoom camera (PTZ camera) and an apparatus therefor. A method of setting a captured image by a PTZ camera and an apparatus therefor are disclosed for setting captured images of a plurality of image capturing areas, to enable prompt setting of multiple images with the PTZ camera changing its targeted imaging areas while maintaining an On Screen Display setting mode (OSD setting mode) for captured image setting.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for capturing an image, capable of controlling setting of a captured image according to a mode in conjunction with a controller apparatus and an image output apparatus, the apparatus comprising:\n a Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera (PTZ camera) configured to capture at least one image of at least one area, so as to generate a captured image; a signal acquisition unit configured to obtain an operation signal from the controller apparatus; a mode control unit configured\n to determine, based on the operation signal, a mode that is entered between a PTZ mode for controlling the PTZ camera and an On Screen Display setting mode (OSD setting mode) for allowing setting in an OSD menu, and \n in accordance with a determined mode, to control the PTZ camera for changing an image capturing area for the captured image, or control for allowing to set the OSD menu; and \n an image output unit configured to output at least one of the captured image or the OSD menu to the image output apparatus, wherein once entered into an OSD lock mode for maintaining the OSD setting mode according to the operation signal, the mode control unit is configured to control the PTZ camera for changing an image capturing area for the captured image while maintaining the OSD setting mode, and to allow for setting the OSD menu against the captured image after change as being output.
