Although an intercom can stepwise determine a visitor's degree of danger, it can neither check whether an intruder actually invades into a house nor defend the house from an invading intruder. According to the present invention, while a cleaner body roams about a room so as to clean the room, map information is produced. If the body passes nearby a marker, positional information acquired from the marker is added to the map information. The marker is used to specify the position of a base phone included in the intercom or a standby position. In watch mode, whether a watch instruction is received from the base phone is checked. After the cleaner body is moved to the standby position, human body sensors are used to sense whether an intruder has invaded into a house. As soon as invasion is sensed, the cleaner body is moved to face the intruder. Thereafter, imaging is instructed, and photographic image data is acquired and transmitted over a wireless LAN.

Provided is a device for inspecting defects, which can inspect a pattern of a top layer with a high S / N ratio. In the device, diffracted light L2 produced by a wafer 2 being a substrate which is illuminated by illumination light L1 is guided and collected by a light receiving optical system 4 composed of a lens 41 and a lens 42, and the diffracted light L2 forming an image of the wafer 2 is focused on an image pickup device 5 used as an imaging means.
