We are developing two new systems of a high-speed CCD camera, and an automated monitor telescope. This camera using a frame transfer-type CCD enables us to take images each 27.3 msec at the highest speed. We try to investigate accretion and eruption phenomena around compact stars by optical light. The automated monitor system of X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables we are developing is a small system of a 30cm reflector, a CCD camera, and a computer. It is a cheap system, but can make a monitor of more than 150 systems each night. It will reveal long-term light curve of programmed stars of those transient systems, and catch sudden outbursts/decays. We will be able to start follow-up observations best to clarify the mechanism of these activities, as early as possible. We here report the current status of these projects, the target physics, and the future development.
