An RF converter circuit 11 that constitutes a video signal superposing/power
deriving unit 100 converts video signals generated from images taken by
a surveillance camera 10, which derives a direct current voltage as a driving
power from an antenna lead-in wire 6 through a filter circuit (LPF circuit
12), to radio-frequency signals. The radio-frequency signals are transmitted
through the antenna lead-in wire 6 to a television receiver 2. Images
taken by the surveillance camera 1 can be viewed on the television receiver
2 only by selecting the channel assigned to the surveillance camera 1.
Accordingly, the driving power for the surveillance camera 1 is not relied
upon a solar battery or secondary batteries, and wiring work therefor may be simplified.
