Network Terms
NVR (Network Video Recorder)
Similar functionally to a DVR, however a NVR accepts IP
camera. NVRs can also be software based, meaning that they
can only accept IP camera streams over the Internet.
VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
Variable bit rate (VBR) is a term used in telecommunications and
computing that relates to the bit rate used in sound or video
encoding. VBR allows a higher bitrate (and therefore more
storage space) to be allocated to the more complex segments
of media files while less space is allocated to less complex
segments. The average of these rates can be calculated to
produce an average bitrate for the file.
GOP (Group of Picture)
In Video coding, a group of pictures, or GOP structure,
specifies the order in which intra- and inter-frames are
arranged. The GOP is a group of successive pictures within a
coded video stream. Each coded video stream consists of
successive GOPs. From the pictures contained in it, the visible
frames are generated.
IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth revision in the
development of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is a connectionless
protocol for use on Ethernet networks. It operates on a best
effort delivery model; in that it does not guarantee delivery, nor
does it assure proper sequencing or avoidance of duplicate
delivery.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet
Protocol (IP) intended to succeed Internet Protocol version 4
(IPv4), which currently directs almost all Internet traffic, but is
running out of addresses. IPv6 allows up to 2128 addresses, a
massive increase from the 232 (about 4.3 billion) addresses
possible with IPv4, and includes several other improvements.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for
local area networks (LANs) The most commonly installed
Ethernet systems are 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T10, which
provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps
respectively. Systems communicating over an Ethernet divide
a stream of data into individual packets called frames. Each
frame contains source and destination addresses and error-
checking data so that damaged data can be detected and
re-transmitted.
Compression Algorithm
This is a algorithm to effectively transmit and/or record data
(video/audio). The most common video compression standard
used in security products are JPEG, MJPEG and H.264. The
H.264 is currently one of the most commonly used formats for the
recording, compression, and distribution of high definition video.
Modem (Modulation Demodulation)
A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates an
analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also
demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted
information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted
easily and decoded to reproduce the original digital data.
FDF (Fiber Distribution Frame)
The distribution frame is a passive device which terminates
cables, allowing arbitrary interconnections to be made. In
physical network security industry, the FDF refers to the
enclosure to protect the optical fibre cables for network devices.
Switch
A switch is a network device that connects network segments
together and which selects a path for sending a unit of data to its
next destination.
Backbone
A backbone network or network backbone is a part of computer
network infrastructure that interconnects various pieces of
network, providing a path for the exchange of information
between different LANs or sub networks. A backbone can tie
together diverse networks in the same building, in different
buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas.
Normally, the backbone's capacity is greater than the networks
connected to it.
Streaming Server
Streaming server refers to the delivery method of the medium
rather than to the medium itself. It is a server that is constantly
received by and presented to an operator’s terminal while being
delivered by a streaming provider.
Streaming
Streaming refers to a sequence of data, video or voice elements
made available over time.
RJ45
A registered jack connector and wiring pattern used for the
connection of a high-speed computer modem and modem device.
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair cable)
A cable medium with one or more pairs of twisted insulated
copper conductors bound in a single sheath, with no overall or
individual screen. Currently the most common method of
bringing telephone signals and data to the desktop.
CAT.5 (Category 5 cable)
Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is an unshielded twisted pair cable
standard used in structured cabling for computer networks
such as Ethernet. It is also used to carry other signals such as
telephony and video, supporting a maximum speed of
100Mbps. This type of cable is commonly used in home/office
application.
CAT.6 (Category 6 cable)
Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat 6, is a cable
standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network physical layers
that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e standards.
The cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz
and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet),
100 0 BAS E -T/1 0 00B A SE- T X (Gi g abi t Ethe r n e t) an d
10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet).
SD (Standard Definition)
The term is usually used in reference to digital television, in
particular when broadcasting at the same (or similar) resolution
as analogue systems. In terms of the pixel resolution it includes
720 x 480 and 640 x480.
HD (High Definition)
The term refers to any video system of higher resolution than
standard-definition (SD) video, and most commonly involves
display resolutions of 1,280×720 pixels (720p) or 1,920×1,080
pixels (1080i/1080p). The 1080p sometimes refers to 'Full HD'.
PoE(PoE+) (Power over Ethernet)
Power over Ethernet provides power to a network device via
the same cable as used for the network connection. The
original IEEE 802.3af-2003 PoE standard provides up to 15.4
W of DC power (minimum 44 V DC and 350 mA to each device.
Only 12.95 W is assured to be available at the powered device
as some power is dissipated in the cable. The updated IEEE
802.3at-2009 PoE standard also known as PoE+ or PoE plus,
provides up to 25.5 W of power
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol /
Internet Protocol
)
The TCP/IP model describes a set of general design guidelines
and implementations of specific networking protocols to enable
computers to communicate over a network. TCP/IP provides
end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be
formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the
destination.
Protocol
A special set of rules gover ning how two entities will
communicate with each other. As an example it can refer to a
DVR sending a camera’s video image to PC via internet.
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)) that was formed
to create a standard for how IP products within video
sur v e ill a n ce and o t her ph y s ica l s e curi t y are as can
communicate with each other.
CCD (Charge Coupled Device, CCD)
A charge coupled device (CCD) is a device that converts light
into an electrical charge, each pixel's charge value is converted
into a digital value by measuring the amount of charge at each
photosite and converting that measurement to binary form.
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor)
A CMOS is a widely used type of semiconductor that uses both
negative and positive circuits. CMOS chips require less power
than chips using just one type of transistor. CMOS image
sensors also allow processing circuits to be included on the
same chip.
