A MOBOTIX GLOSSARY
2G
Second generation of wireless telephone technology (see
»GSM/2G
).
3G
Third generation of wireless telephone technology (see
»UMTS/3G
).
ActiveX
Control element on Windows computers, which can also be used in other programs (including
Windows Internet Explorer) to run special tasks. The
»MxPEG
ActiveX control provides a mecha-
nism for other applications to play the video and audio data generated by MOBOTIX cameras.
Arming
Refers to the process of activating an alarm system so that specific events can trigger the
corresponding alarms. Traditional alarm systems can be armed using a key switch or by
entering a code on a keyboard. MOBOTIX cameras can be armed using a “software switch”,
a key switch, other systems (e.g. an alarm system), or automatically using weekly schedules.
AVC Video
Abbreviation of
Advanced Video Coding
. AVC Video is a standard for video compression
(similar to
»H.264
).
Auto Grid
Automatically generated
»Layout
used for displaying the live images from all cameras.
Background Layout
»Layout
type in MxControlCenter, which shows cameras and camera icons on a background
image (e.g. the floor plan of a building). In contrast to a
»Grid Layout
, you can place cameras
and icons at any position on the background image.
Bandwidth
Describes the capacity of a network connection. Bandwidth is commonly measured in
kilobits
per second
(short
kbit/s
, also
kbps
) for slower connections (modem, ISDN,
»GSM/2G
), in
megabits per second
(short
Mbit/s
, also
Mbps
) for fast (
»UMTS/3G
,
»Fast Ethernet
) and in
gigabits per second
(short
Gbit/s
, also
Gbps
) for superfast connections (
»Gigabit Ethernet
).
Bonjour
(French for
“hello”
) is a technology developed by Apple based on the
»Zeroconf
protocol.
Bonjour is a method for network devices to automatically advertise and detect services on
IP networks. For example, you can find a printer or a network camera on the local network
without knowing the exact IP address of the device you are looking for.
CamIO
MOBOTIX signal module that the camera uses to directly operate lamps, sirens and access
controls, as well as external audio components (speakers and microphones).
