A imaging apparatus includes a storage unit that stores registration information in which information relevant to a feature of an object, of a subject, to be recognized, personal information relevant to attribute of the subject, and non-personal information which is different from the personal information are related with each other and registered. A video generator captures a subject image to generate video data, and a detector detects an object having the same feature as that registered in the registration information. An embedding unit embeds non-personal information relating to the object to be recognized into the video data to be generated, and a management file generator generates a management file. The management file includes the non-personal information to be embedded into the video data and the personal information related to the non-personal information to be embedded into the registration information.
