Abstract: It is possible to further reduce failure of simultaneous imaging performed by a plurality of imaging terminals. A second processor repeatedly transmits a specific multi-address packet in a first duration when a communication connection of a data link level with an imaging terminal 101 is not established. When a time point at which a first communication device 103 has received a specific multi-address packet is referred to as a first time point, a first processor 102 performs imaging control in response to the specific multi-address packet that has been received at the first time point and does not perform the imaging control in response to a specific multi-address packet that is newly received in the first duration after the first time point.
