Glossary
This section provides glossary for understanding the Network Camera.
A.
ActiveX: A control (or set of rules) used by a browser. ActiveX controls are often downloaded and
installed automatically as required.
API: Application Programming Interface. The API can be used for integrating products into other
applications.
ARP: Address Resolution Protocol. Used to associate an IP address to a hardware MAC address.
A request is broadcasted on the local network to nd out what the MAC address is for the IP
address.
Aspect ratio: A ratio of width to height in images. A common aspect ratio used for television screens and
computer monitors is 4:3. High-denition television (HDTV) uses an aspect ratio of 16:9.
B.
BOOTP : A protocol that can automatically congure a network device (give it an IP address).
C.
CGI: Common Gateway Interface. A set of rules (or a program) that allows a Web Server to com-
municate with other programs.
Client/Server: Describes the network relationship between two computer programs, in which one, the client
makes a service request from another - the server.
D.
DC-iri: The iris, a mechanism that automatically regulates the amount of light allowed entering to
CCD, is electrically controlled by the camera
dB (Decibels): A unit to measure sound level changes. A 3dB change is the smallest level change we can
hear. A gain of 0dB will leave the signal level unchanged.
De-interlacing: De-interlacing is the process of converting a stream of interlaced frames to a stream of pro-
gressive frames.
A-DSL : Digital Subscriber Line. A means of transferring data via standard phone line.
E.
Ethernet: A widely used networking standard.
F.
Firewall: A virtual barrier between a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, e.g. the internet.
FTP: File Transfer Protocol. Used for the simple transfer of les to and from an FTP server.
Full-duplex: Transmission of data in two directions simultaneously.
G.
G.711: G.711 is the international standard for encoding telephone audio on 64 Kbps channel. It is a
pulse code modulation (PCM) scheme operating at 8 kHz sample rate.
G.726: Frequently used speech-compression algorithm in telecommunications due to its high per-
ceived speech quality and low resource requirements.
H.
Half-duplex: A half-duplex link communicates in one direction at a time only, Just like a walkie-talkie. Two
way communications is possible, but not simultaneously.
HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The set of rules for exchanging les (text, images, sound, video,
and other les) on the World Wide Web.
HTTP-S:
(HTTPS)
An extension to the HTTP protocol to support the transmitting data securely over the World Wide Web.

Glossary
I.
Intranet : A private network limited to an organization or corporation. Usually closed to external trafc.
IP: Internet Protocol.
IP address: A unique set of numbers used by a computer on the network to allow it to be identied and found.
J.
JPEG: A standard image format, used widely for photographs. Also known as JPG
L.
LAN: A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that typically
share common resources within a limited geographical area.
Linux: A popular operating system that is “open source” and practically free of charge.
Lux: A standard unit for light measurement.
M.
Mbit/s: Megabits per second. A unit for measuring speeds in networks.
A LAN might run at 10 or 100 Mbit/s
MPEG4: A video compression standard that makes good use of bandwidth.
It can provide DVD-quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s.
Multicast: A bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces bandwidth usage by simultaneously
delivering a single stream of information to multiple network recipients.
P.
Ping: A small utility used for sending data packets to network resources to check that they are
working and that the network is intact.
Pre / post
alarm image:
The images from immediately before and after an alarm.
Protocol: A special set of rules governing how two entities will communicate. Protocols are found at
many levels of communication, and there are hardware protocols and software protocols.
R.
Router: A device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded on its
way to its nal destination. A router is often included as part of a network switch.
RTP: Real Time Transfer Protocol. A transfer protocol designed for the delivery of live content, e.g.
MPEG4.
RTSP: Real Time Streaming Protocol is a network control(e.g. play, stop, etc) protocol used in mul-
timedia, and a starting point for negotiating transports such as RTP, multicast and Unicast. RTSP can be considered a “remote control” for controlling the media stream delivered by a media server. RTSP servers typically use RTP as the protocol for the actual transport of audio/video data.
S.
SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is the protocol used to send e-mail across the Internet. SMTP
authentication is a way of allowing people outside of a domain to use an SMTP server when sending e-mail.
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol. An application layer protocol that facilitates the
exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol suite.
Subnet Mask: An IP address consists of two components: the network address and the host address. “Sub-
netting” enables a network administrator to further divide the host part of the address into two
or more subnets. The subnet mask identies the subnet to which an IP address belongs.
Switch: Whilst a simple hub transmits all data to all devices connected to it, a switch only transmits
the data to the device it is specically intended for.

T.
TCP / IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A suite of network protocols that determine
how data is transmitted. TCP/IP is used on many networks, including the Internet. TCP keeps track of the individual packets of information and IP contains the rules for how the packets are actually sent and received.
U.
UDP: The User Datagram Protocol is a communication protocol that offers a limited amount of ser-
vice when messages are exchanged between computers in a network that uses the IP. UDP is an alternative to the TCP and, together with IP, is also known as UDP/IP.
Unicast: Communication between a single sender and a single receiver over a network.
A new connection is established for each new user.
URL: Uniform Resource Locator. An “address” on the network.
V.
Varifocal: A varifocal lens provides a various range of focal length, as opposed to a lens with a xed
focal length, which only provides one.
W.
WAN: Wide Area Network. Similar to a LAN, but on a larger geographical scale.
Web server: A program on a computer that delivers the resources requested by the web use
