Mbps (Megabits Per Second)
The standard unit for measuring bit rates, i.e., the speed at which bits are transferred
at specific points. Network speeds are usually specified in Mbps. LANs are frequently
operated at speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps. Also see “Bit rate.”
Mediator Lock
A self-locking door lock with an electrical door opener. Can also be retrofitted on existing
doors. People can exit through the door at any time, despite the fact that the door is
constantly locked. Exiting is possible in the case of danger, during normal operations,
and without a key (safeguarding of escape routes).
Megapixel
Images that have more than 1 million pixels.
MicroSD Card
SD Memory Card (Secure Digital Memory Card). A digital storage medium based on flash
storage modules.
Motion Detection
Action of detecting 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.
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
computers, 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 and large-sized
camera networks.
MxEasy
Free MOBOTIX video management software for small and compact camera networks of
up to 16 cameras/door stations.
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 various cables and
share access to data and devices such as printers and IP cameras.
