Glossary
LED
Abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode. An electronic semiconductor component built into
MOBOTIX cameras and add-on modules that emits light when a current flows through the
component in the correct direction.
Linux
Free and open source operating system. Serves as the operating system for all MOBOTIX
cameras.
Megapixel
Images that have more than 1 million pixels.
Mono dome camera
Dome camera with one lens, such as the MOBOTIX D24.
Motion detection
Action of sensing a movement within a particular area. MOBOTIX cameras use algorithmic
methods to detect changes from image to image in predefined areas, while taking preset
conditions into account. If a camera detects a movement, it signals an event and triggers
an alarm.
Motion-JPEG (M-JPEG)
A video compression method where each individual image is compressed separately as
a JPEG image. Unlike MPEG, the quality of M-JPEG recordings is not dependent on move-
ment within the image.
MPEG
Motion Pictures Expert Group. Standard for compressing and saving image and video data,
resulting in quality loss. Originally created for playing entertainment content on PCs, MPEG
concentrates on displaying still image material and compromises the quality of moving
image material in order to increase the transmission speed.
MxControlCenter
MOBOTIX video management software for professional control of medium-sized and large
camera networks.
MxEasy
MOBOTIX video management software for small and compact camera networks of up to
16 cameras.
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).
NAS
Abbreviation for Network Attached Storage, a storage system connected via an Ethernet
cable. All network devices (cameras) have access to this storage system.
