A Smart Client view (on page 132) shared by several users.
Smart WallSolution for managing collections of wall-mounted monitors (a.k.a. monitor walls or video walls), often used by command centers, city surveillance operators, traffic control centers, etc.
SMS
Systems Management Server, a Microsoft tool which lets system administrators build up databases of hardware and software on local networks. The databases can then—among other things—be used for distributing and installing software applications over local networks.
Speakers
In the Smart Client context: Loudspeakers attached to a camera device, allowing Smart Client users to talk to audiences at the physical location of a camera.
T
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol; a protocol (i.e.
standard) used for sending data packets across networks. TCP is often combined with another protocol, IP (Internet Protocol). The combination, known as TCP/IP, allows data packets to be sent back and forth between two points on a network for longer periods of time, and is used when connecting computers and other devices on the internet.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol; a combination of protocols (i.e. standards) used when connecting computers and other devices on networks, including the internet.
Transact
Product available as an add-on to surveillance systems. With Transact, it is possible to combine video with time-linked PoS or ATM transaction data.
U
URL
Uniform Resource Locator; an address of a resource on the world wide web. The first part of a URL specifies which protocol (i.e. data
communication standard) to use when accessing the resource, whereas the second part of the URL specifies the domain or IP address at which the resource is located. Example:
http://www.myorganization.org.
V
View
A collection of video from one or more cameras, presented together in the Smart Client. A view may include other content than video from cameras, such as HTML pages and static images. A view can be private (only visible by the user who created it) or shared with other users.
VMD
Video Motion Detection. In IP video surveillance systems, recording of video is often started by detected motion. This can be a great way of avoiding unnecessary recordings. Recording of video can of course also be started by other events, and/or by time schedules.
X
X-Axis
The horizontal axis in a coordinate system.
Y
Y-Axis
The vertical axis in a coordinate system.
