REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM OF PET IAMGE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote image monitor system for pet images which has a simple structure and is capable of checking the conditions of pets over a long time period. SOLUTION: Digital cameras are arranged for each pet cage in a pet hotel etc., and clear still images are provided to the owners of the pets via the Internet by using the cameras. Especially, the pets are intermittently imaged with the digital still cameras for each fixed time period, in order to provide latest photographs of the current conditions of the pets to the owners. Since the still photographs are used, a small storage capacity is sufficient, and photographs of the long past period can be stored. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
