An imaging apparatus controls a movement of a second lens unit to compensate for an image-plane movement due to a movement of a first lens unit when a captured image is zoomed by moving the first lens unit, and controls the movement of the second lens unit to be performed within a range selected from data based on second information corresponding to an object distance. A biometrics database which links and stores group numbers, individual identification numbers, and biometrics data is provided, and a group number is used to read biometrics data for the group, which is verified against detected biometrics data to identify the individual identification number and access an individual database. The fixed cellular communication device provides a means for formatting and transmission of data packets received from data devices directly connected to the fixed cellular communication device, or the fixed cellular communication device may receive signals from the fixed wireless RF communication device andor from the mobile wireless RF transceiver.
