IP address
An IP address describes the address of a computer or device in an IP network. IP addresses
are used by all the computers/devices connected to a network to identify each other and
transfer data in both directions. Every IP address must be unique to the network in question
in order to prevent conflicts. IP addresses can be assigned as static addresses, meaning they
always remain the same, or they can be allocated dynamically (and automatically) via DHCP.
Each IP address consists of four groups (or quads) of decimal digits separated by periods,
such as 130.5.5.25. Each part of the address represents dierent types of information. One
part represents the network number or address; another represents the local computer’s
address.
IP Camera
An IP camera is a special type of video camera. This kind of camera diers from other
video cameras in that it forwards its images via IP networks. Network cameras also
include a computer in addition to the actual camera components. This built-in computer
compresses the image data and transmits it over the network. The computer basically
consists of a CPU, a flash memory chip and a DRAM memory chip. The installed network
camera software enables the networked device to act as a web server or FTP server, and
also as an FTP client or e-mail client.
IP Network
Data network based on the Internet protocol (TCP/IP).
JPEG
Abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group, responsible for the development of the
JPEG standard method for image compression. JPEG is the most common lossy image
format for photos on the Internet. Loss in image quality is barely noticeable at compression
rates lying between 60 and 99 percent.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A LAN consists of a group of computers and associated devices that share the same
communication resources within a physical space.
LED
Abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode. Refers to an electronic semiconductor component
built into MOBOTIX cameras and add-on modules that emits light when a current flows
through the component in the correct direction.
Lighting
In general, a camera does not require any additional lighting for daylight operation. However,
some basic rules must be observed for use in the dark or under artificial light. A suitable
light source or support lighting system should be chosen based on whether the camera
is used for a general overview or for the exact identification of persons and/or objects.
Lux
The standard unit for measuring light intensity.
