TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol
—combination of protocols (or
standards) used when connecting computers
and other devices on networks, including the
internet.
Telnet
Terminal emulation program used on TCP/IP
networks. With Telnet, you can connect to a
server from a computer on the network and
execute commands through Telnet as if you
were entering them directly on the server.
Windows includes a client for use with Telnet.
Transact
An add-on to your XProtect VMS system.
XProtect Transact can help you prevent loss
and shrinkage through video evidence
combined with time-linked POS or ATM
transaction data.
U
UDP
User Datagram Protocol —connectionless
protocol for sending data packets across
networks. Primarily used for broadcasting
messages. UDP is a fairly simple protocol, with
less error recovery features than, for example,
the TCP protocol.
UPS
A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) works
as a battery-driven secondary power source,
providing the necessary power for saving open
files and safely powering down your system in
the event of power irregularities. UPSs vary in
sophistication, but many UPSs include
software for automatically saving open files, for
alerting system administrators, etc.
V
Video encoder
A device, typically a standalone device, that
can stream video from a number of connected
client cameras. Video encoders contain image
digitizers, making it possible to connect analog
cameras to a network.
Video server
Another name for a video encoder.
View
In XProtect Enterprise, a collection of video
from one or more cameras, presented together
in the Smart Client. A view may include other
content, such as HTML pages and static
images, in addition to video from cameras.
VMD

activity in a scene by analyzing image data
and the differences in a series of images.
