A surveillance camera apparatus which has an image signal transmission apparatus transmitting an image signal and an image signal reception apparatus receiving an image signal from the image signal transmission apparatus. The image signal transmission apparatus has an image pick-up unit for picking-up an object, a position input unit for specifying a predetermined range, and an image signal output unit for outputting position information obtained from the position input unit superimposed on an image signal obtained from the image pick-up unit. The image signal reception apparatus has a detector for detecting position information from an image signal to which the position information is added, a recorder for recording the image signal, and a controller for selecting any one of the image signal and a signal masking a predetermined range of the image signal based on the position information from the detector for position information and for recording it into the recorder.
