GLOSSARY

1. Network Camera: A stand-alone device which allows users to view live, full motion video from anywhere on a

computer network, even over the Internet, using a standard web browser.

2. CMOS Sensor: Technology involving Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) to sense images. CMOS

now rivals--and in some cases surpass--CCD technology in dynamic range and noise sensitivity and can offer

improvements in resolution.

3. JPEG: A standard image format, used widely for photographs. Also known as JPG.

4. IEEE 802.11b/g: The specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless network technology.

It provides 11 Mbps

transmission in the 2.4GHz band usage.

5. WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy. A security protocol for wireless network defined in the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. WEP

aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected

as it is transmitted from one end

point to another.

6. Adhoc Mode: A wireless network system in which devices communicate directly with each other, without the use of a

wireless router.

7. Infrastructure Mode: One of the wireless network system in which

devices communicate with each other by first

going through the wireless router.

8. IP Address: The unique 32 bit number assigned to each computer connected to the Internet. IP numbers are used by

the TCP/IP protocol to route packets of data to their destinations.

9. TCP/IP: The collection of "protocols" underlying the functioning of the Internet. Each computer connected to the

Internet is identified by a unique IP Address.

10. SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

11. FTP: File Transfer Protocol. Network cameras equipped with an embedded operating system, such as Linux,

can use

FTP to send images to a website.

12. DDNS: DDNS is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a dynamic IP address with your Network Camera. You

can set up your DDNS service and the device will automatically update your DDNS server

each time it alter a different

IP address.

13. Time server: A time server consists of a computer networking device that reads the actual time from a reference clock

and distributes this information to its clients using a computer network.
