Abstract
An IP-based monitor camera system has been used to accomplish savings in labor in operating railway vehicles, such as passenger-carrying vehicles, and to confirm safety at multiple doors thereof. A monitoring system installed in a leading or rearmost vehicle allows a train driver or a train crew to use monitoring cameras for visually confirming motions of passengers in association with opening or closing of doors of the passenger-carrying vehicles so as to ensure safe and efficient operation of the passenger-carrying vehicles. When areas of the trimming frames of images captured by the monitor cameras are set for displaying the images on a monitor screen, the areas of the trimming frames of the monitor cameras are automatically read and set quickly, readily and reliably.
