To provide a camera control apparatus configured to control, in a vehicle, imaging directions of a camera so that the camera may capture face images of occupants other than a driver, located outside an imaging range when a face image of the driver is captured, as well as capturing a high-definition face image of the driver for detecting a state of the driver.SOLUTION: A camera control apparatus includes: a vehicle information acquisition unit 11 which acquires vehicle information on a vehicle 100: and a rotation control unit 12 which outputs rotation instruction information to rotate a camera 3 toward a direction in which a second range can be imaged when detecting that a door of a front passenger's seat 102 or a rear seat 103 of the vehicle 100 has been opened or closed based on the vehicle information acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit 11, the camera 3 being disposed rotatably and configured to switch an imaging range between a first range in which at least the face of the driver in the vehicle 100 should exist, and the second range in which an occupant on the front passenger's seat or an occupant on the rear seat in the vehicle 100 should exist, for capturing an image with a narrow-angle lens.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】車両において、カメラがドライバの状態検出のための精細なドライバの顔画像を撮像可能としつつ、ドライバの顔画像の撮像時に撮像範囲外となるドライバ以外の乗員の顔画像も撮像可能となるよう、カメラの撮像方向を制御するカメラ制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両100に関する車両情報を取得する車両情報取得部11と、車両情報取得部11が取得した車両情報に基づき車両100の助手席102または後部座席103のドアが開いたまたは閉じたことを検知すると、回転可能に設けられ狭角レンズにて車両100内のドライバの少なくとも顔が存在すべき第1範囲と車両100内の助手席乗員または後部座席乗員の少なくとも顔が存在すべき第2範囲とを切り替えて撮像可能なカメラ3を、第2範囲が撮像可能な向きへと回転させるための回転指示情報を出力する回転制御部12とを備えた。【選択図】図1
