Herein disclosed is an imaging system which can enhance its operational
performance to allow an operator to easily obtain a good grasp of images
collectively displayed on a screen by comprising: a camera (1) to be
disposed in a remote place, the camera (1) having an optical axis (1a);
driving means (8, 13) for driving the camera (1) to have the optical axis
(1a) of the camera (1) moved in each of horizontal and vertical
directions; position detecting means (10) for detecting a position of the
optical axis (1a) of the camera (1)in each of the horizontal and vertical
directions; position information storing means (12) for storing position
information indicative of the position of the optical axis (1a) of the
camera (1)to have the position information linked to an image taken at
the position by the camera (1); and remote controlling apparatus (21) to
be electrically connected to the driving means (8) through a
communication network (19, 22) to control the driving means (8, 13), the
remote controlling apparatus (21) including display means for displaying
on the screen the image taken at the position by the camera (1) to have
the screen linked to the position information.
