A camera device capable of taking a commemorative image of an operator serving as a subject which includes a background image by a remote operation from an operation terminal held by the operator through a communication network, includes: a section that calculates a photographic target area based on position information of a camera section and state information of the camera section which includes at least one of a pan angle, a tilt angle, and a zoom magnification; a section that determines whether or not the operation terminal is located within the photographic target area based on terminal position information received from the operation terminal through the communication network and information indicating the calculated photographic target area; and a section that permits high-image quality photographing and enabling transmission of a video image subjected to high-image quality processing to the operation terminal through the communication network when it is determined that the operation terminal is located within the photographic target area.
