OMNIDIRECTIONAL MONITORING CONTROL SYSTEM, OMNIDIRECTIONAL MONITORING CONTROL METHOD, OMNIDIRECTIONAL MONITORING CONTROL PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

An omnidirectional monitoring control system includes an omnidirectional camera for taking an omnidirectional image over a viewing angle of a maximum of 360 degrees; at least one zoom camera for performing positional control and magnification ratio control; a control section for rotating the omnidirectional image about a central axis of the omnidirectional image at a prescribed angle such that an apparent reference position of the omnidirectional camera is matched with an apparent reference position for driving the at least one zoom camera, and driving the at least one zoom camera to allow a prescribed monitoring position of omnidirectional image data obtained by the rotation to be photographed by the at least one zoom camera; and a display section for displaying the omnidirectional image taken by the omnidirectional camera and a zoom image taken by the at least one zoom camera.
