Ping - A small utility used for sending data packets to network resources to check that they are working and that the network is intact.

Pre/post alarm image - The images from immediately before and after an alarm.

Privacy mask - An image or specified area used to block out certain parts of the video image.

Protocol - A special set of rules governing how two entities will communicate. Protocols are found at many levels of communication, and there are hardware protocols and software protocols.

Router - A device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded on its way to its final destination.

RTP - Real-Time Transfer Protocol. A transfer protocol designed for delivery of live contents, e.g. MPEG-4.

Simplex - In simplex operation, a network cable or communications channel can send information in one direction only.

SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. A protocol used for e-mail transmissions over the Internet.

SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol. An application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite.

Subnet Mask - An IP address consists of two components: the network address and the host address. “Subnetting’ enables a network administrator to further divide the host part of the address into two or more subnets. The subnet mask identifies the subnet to which an IP address belongs.

Switch - While a simple hub transmits all data to all devices connected to it, a switch only transmits the data to the device it is specifically intended for.

TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A suite of network protocols that determine how data is transmitted. TCP/IP is used on many networks, including the Internet. TCP keeps track of the individual packets of information and IP contains the rules for how the packets are actually sent and received.

UDP - The User Datagram Protocol is a communications protocol that offers a limited amount of service when messages are exchanged between computers in a network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP). UDP is an alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and, together with IP, is also known as UDP/IP.

Unicast - Communication that takes place over a network between a single sender and a single receiver.

UPnPTM - Allows the automatic peer-to-peer detection of devices on the network.

URL - Uniform Resource Locator. An “address" on the network.

Varifocal - A varifocal lens provides a wide range of focal lengths, as opposed to a lens with a fixed focal length, which only provides one.
