Server and a server system

A server comprising:

• a camera section, which photographs a subject image by a image-pickup means of the interlaced scan system and outputs image signals in a first field and a second field;
• a image signal compressor, which compresses the image signals output from the camera section;
• a network interface, which transmits image data compressed by the image signal compressor to a network;
• and
• a controller, which controls the camera section and the image signal compressor;
• wherein the server is equipped with communicator, which transmits the information containing link information for image data and an image information display size instruction described in a markup language in order to display a web page on a browser in a network terminal;
• and
• in case where a request for transmitting the image data is received from the network terminal in accordance with the link information,
• the server transmits, in a predetermined operating state, a image signal in either the first field or second field.

A method for transmitting a camera image via a network and displaying the camera image, comprising the steps of:

• photographing a subject image by image pickup-means of the interlaced scan system;
• transmitting the image information of a subject image to a network terminal;
• transmitting a file which describes in a markup language a display size instruction to display image information at the same aspect ratio as that of the subject image;
• transmitting partially a field information among the image information in order to display the subject image on the network terminal.
