Glossary
S
SLC: Abbreviation for Software License Code; a code required to use a full version of the analytics
solution.
Smear: Smear is an effect leading to unwanted light vertical lines in images; it is frequently linked
to slight imperfections in cameras' CCD imagers (the sensors used to digitally create the images).
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.
T
TCP: Transmission Control Protocol; a protocol (i.e. standard) used for sending data packets across
networks. IP 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
Underexposure: Underexposure is when images are exposed to too little light, resulting in a dark
image with hardly any contrast.
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
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.
Z
Z-Axis: The spatial axis in a coordinate system. When using joysticks, the Z-axis typically refers to
the depth (zoom) level.
