Glossary
CMOS
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors eciently transform light into electrons
to facilitate image capturing. To further enhance light sensitivity and hence image quality, MOBOTIX
has launched a new 1/1.8” 6-megapixel CMOS image sensor with moonlight technology.
DVR
A Digital Video Recorder typically consists of a Windows PC with licensed video management
software (VMS) installed. MOBOTIX cameras do not require a DVR, since the VMS is already
installed in the cameras.
IK rating
Indicates the degree of resistance against impact. MOBOTIX cameras with the appropriate
vandalism sets have the highest impact rating of IK10 or better.
IP camera
Network-based camera that is using the Internet Transfer Protocol (TCP/IP) to establish video,
audio and data connections.
IP rating
Ingress Protection is given as a two digit classification, which indicates the level of protection
against water and dust. Most MOBOTIX devices are weatherproof rated at IP65 or IP66. The
first digit classifies protection against foreign objects (6 – dustproof), the second digit classifies
protection against water (5 – protected against water jets from any angle, 6 – protected against
strong water jets from any angle).
MxBus
MxBus is a fully encrypted, two-wire bus system that connects and powers MOBOTIX devices
over a distance of up to 50 m/55 yd for building automation and camera-driven control systems.
When adding an MxBus device, it gets a secured key that encrypts the entire communication.
MxPEG
MxPEG is the only codec specifically designed for video surveillance systems. The encoding
capabilities of MxPEG by far exceed that of H.264 for capturing and recording movement in
varying lighting conditions.
NAS
Network Attached Storage is a computer that is dedicated to file sharing only and thus more
stable than Windows-based PCs. Generally Linux-based.
