Image-sensing control method and apparatus, image sensing system, and storage medium containing program for executing image-sensing control method

An image-sensing control method for an image sensing control apparatus for controlling image sensing means and a pan head for controlling an image sensing direction of said image sensing means, comprising:

• a detection step of detecting whether or not said pan head and said image sensing means are connected to each other;
• and
• a display control step of controlling a displaying status of a control panel for designating the image sensing direction by the pan head based on a detection detected at said detection step.

A storage medium containing a program for executing an image-sensing control method for an image-sensing control apparatus having image sensing means and a pan head for controlling an image sensing direction of said image sensing means, said program comprising:

• a detection process module for detecting whether or not said pan head and said image sensing means are connected to each other;
• and
• a display control process module for controlling a displaying status of a control panel for designating the image sensing direction by the pan head based on a detection detected at said detection process module.

A computer-readable storage medium containing a program for executing an image-sensing control method for an image-sensing control apparatus having image sensing means and a pan head for controlling an image sensing direction of said image sensing means, said program comprising:

• a function detection process module for detecting a function of said image sensing means;
• and
• a function display process module for controlling a displaying status of a control panel for designating the image sensing direction of said image sensing means based on the result of detection at said function detection process module.
