In a control device for a motion picture camera that has a record button and a control circuit connected to the record button, the control circuit is configured to cause a start of a motion picture recording in response to a first actuation of the record button. In a normal recording mode, the control device causes a termination of the motion picture recording in response to a second actuation of the record button. In a tail slate mode, the control device, in contrast, only causes a termination of the motion picture recording when first a second actuation of the record button takes place and then a third actuation of the record button takes place.

A device and a method are provided for controlling an image of a vehicle for an image of a vehicle camera that does not have a built-in image signal processor (ISP). A communication device receives information on an operation mode of the vehicle from a vehicle system and a camera device that does not have a built-in ISP obtains an image of a surrounding region of the vehicle, and transmits the image of the surrounding region to a first image controller. The first image controller having a first ISP for performing image processing shares the image of the surrounding region with a second image controller having a second ISP for performing image processing. The first image controller and the second image controller alternatively have a control right for the camera device depending on the operation mode of the vehicle.

A vehicle control system including: a vehicle configured to be movable along a predetermined route, the vehicle including at least an image capturing apparatus; a display apparatus configured to display a video image captured by the image capturing apparatus, the display apparatus being installed in a remote place that is remote from the vehicle; a first operation terminal installed in the remote place; a control apparatus configured to control movement of the vehicle based on first operation information input through the first operation terminal; and a second operation terminal installed in a place that is closer to the vehicle than to the remote place, in which the control apparatus is configured to assist, based on second operation information input through the second operation terminal, the control of the movement of the vehicle that is based on the first operation information.

Systems to extend signal transfer used with a camera device comprise a first location station with a first receiver and a second receiver. The first receiver receives wireless signals from a user device that are changed and sent through a fiber optic cable to a second location station. The second receiver receives signals through the cable from the second location station, which signals are changed to wireless signals output to a user device. The second location station comprises a third receiver that receives from the cable from the first location station, which signals are changed to wireless signals output to a camera device. The second location comprises a fourth receiver that receives wireless signals from the camera device, which signals are changed at the first location to signals sent through the cable from the second location station to the first location station.
