The HiRes Video Company
MxPEG: Method developed by MOBOTIX to compress and store image and video data with
low network load and high image quality. The MxPEG ActiveX control element allows video
and audio data from MOBOTIX cameras to be displayed in other applications (including
Internet Explorer).
Network: A group of end devices, such as computers, that are connected via cables and
share access to data and devices such as printers and IP cameras.
PIR sensor: Passive infrared sensor for motion detection.
PoE: Power-over-Ethernet. A technology for supplying network-enabled devices (for example,
IP cameras) with power via an Ethernet cable.
PTZ: Abbreviation for Pan/Tilt/Zoom. Refers to the movement of a video camera to the left
and right, up and down, and to the camera’s ability to enlarge an image.
Resolution: Indicates the number of pixels used to produce an image. The more pixels an
image has, the more recognizable the details remain when the image is enlarged. The
resolution is expressed as the number of pixel columns by pixel rows or as a total number
of pixels. A VGA image has 640 columns and 480 rows (640×480), which equals 307,200
pixels or approximately 0.3 megapixels. The T24 has 3.1 megapixels.
RFID: Radio frequency identification.
Router: Network device that connects multiple networks with one another. The router establishes
a physical connection between the devices in dierent networks (like a hub), analyzes the
relevant data packets and forwards (”routes”) these packets to the correct target network.
Searches: Monitoring of recordings or searching for a particular event.
SIP: Session Initiation Protocol. Network protocol for setting up, controlling and terminating
a communication connection via a computer network. SIP is frequently used in conjunction
with IP telephony.
Switch: Hardware used to connect multiple network devices (computers, cameras, printers,
etc.) within a network. A PoE switch can also supply the (door) cameras with power over an
Ethernet cable.
Transponder: A transponder is a device used for wireless communication (for example,
as a key fob or a check card). The device detects the incoming signal and automatically
responds to it or forwards it. The term ”transponder” is made up of the terms ”transmitter”
and ”responder.” Passive transponders do not require their own power source, but they only
work over short distances.
VoIP: Voice-over-IP. Telephony using computer networks.
WLAN (Wi-Fi): Wireless local area network connection.
