PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reproduce even a setting condition of a camera and a monitor in the recording state when plural monitors monitor video images photographed by plural cameras and the video images are recorded on a recorder, on which the images are reproduced. SOLUTION: A matrix switcher 1 selects video images from plural cameras 6-8 in the camera system and plural monitors 9-12 monitor the selected video images, and a VTR 13 records the video images. A switch section and a CPU of the matrix switcher 1 set conditions of each camera and each monitor and a memory stores the set conditions. The condition settings are revision in monitor modes such as a day function, a night function, an attended function, an unmanned function, and a commuting state mode, and change of the VTR 13 from a time lap mode to an ordinary mode with an alarm signal.
