1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
an image capturing section configured to perform image capturing;
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform the operations as:
an image capturing mode-determining section configured to determine an image capturing mode of the image capturing section; and
an installation place-identifying section configured to identify an installation place of the image capturing apparatus,
wherein in a case where an installation place of the image capturing apparatus, identified by the installation place-identifying section, and an installation place registered in advance match, the image capturing mode-determining section determines an image capturing mode registered in advance in association with the identified installation place as an image capturing mode to be used for image capturing,
wherein in a case where a plurality of image capturing modes have been registered in advance in association with one installation place, the image capturing mode-determining section selects one of the plurality of image capturing modes and
wherein the plurality of image capturing modes includes a first image capturing mode in which still image capturing is performed at a predetermined repetition period, and a second image capturing mode in which moving image capturing is always performed to monitor around the image capturing apparatus.
