A surveillance system () includes an area information acquisition unit (), a position information acquisition unit (), a candidate determination unit (), and a notification unit (). The area information acquisition unit () acquires information of a surveillance-desired area. The position information acquisition unit () acquires pieces of position information of a plurality of portable terminals (), each portable terminal performing surveillance using an image capturing unit. The candidate determination unit () determines a candidate portable terminal () to be moved to the surveillance-desired area from among the plurality of portable terminals () based on the acquired pieces of position information of the plurality of portable terminals (). The notification unit () outputs a notification to the candidate portable terminal requesting to move to the surveillance-desired area.
