VIDEO VIEWING SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a video viewing system which can simultaneously be used by a plurality of user terminals (2-1 to 2-m), and which can reduce processing loads of the plurality of user terminals (2-1 to 2-m) and a plurality of remote area terminals (1-1 to 1-n) and a load of a network.SOLUTION: A video viewing system includes: the plurality of remote area terminals (1-1 to 1-n) having all around cameras; the plurality of user terminals (2-1 to 2-m); and a service providing device 3. The plurality of remote area terminals (1-1 to 1-n) are permanently installed in prescribed positions, and they transmit videos which the all around cameras 11-1 image to the service providing device 3. The plurality of user terminals (2-1 to 2-m) transmit visual field selection information to the service providing device 3. The service providing device 3 selects a visual field video from the video in response to the visual field selection information and transmits the visual field video to the plurality of user terminals (2-1 to 2-m).
