- DECODE
- This is a device, circuit, program, algorithm the would covert information from one media format to another. This would be the purpose of standardization, speed secrecy or comparison. The input signal to a video decoder is analog video that conforms to a standard format such as NTSC or PAL.
- Definition of Internet
- Wikipedia - The Internet is a large group of computers that are connected to each other. The Internet is used to send information quickly between computers around the world. It has millions of smaller domestic,academic, business, and government networks and websites, which together carry many different kinds of information (facts and details) and services. So in other words, the Internet is a network of networks.
- Detection area
- The area which is needed to be detected in the image.
- Distance of network cable
- We use the fiber to connect the countries. We only use network cable when it reaches to final clients. So it mainly depends on the fiber to communicate.

- DVR
- Digital Video Recorder.
- EIS
- Electronic image stabilization-ensures image is clear even if the camera is moving.

- False alarm
- False alarm caused by interference source (light change, leaf waggling, rain & snow, small animals)
- Field of view
- The overall image displayed by the camera.
- FTP
- Termed as File transfer protocol, it is a network protocol for transfering files from one point to another over the TCP based network, ie: the internet.
- H.264
- The intent of the H.264/AVC project is to create a standard capable of providing good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than previous standards, without increasing the complexity of design so much that it would be impractical or excessively expensive to implement.
- HDCVI
- In November 2012, Dahua technology released analog high-definition transmission interface technology-HDCVI(High Definition Composite Video Interface), with self-owned intellectual property right. HDCVI technology is a HD video transmission method, based on existing RG-59 or RG-6 coaxial cable. It can achieve long distance HD video signal reliable transmission at low cost via low general coaxial cable. In the practical application, HD-SDI subsystem requires high transmission medium, while HDCVI is suitable to the long distance, low cost transmission medium and complex deployment situation.
- HEVC

- HDD
- Also known as Hard Disk Drive, it is a device that would store files like documents or in our case video recorded files as a digital file.
- I Frame Interval
- the interval time between every two I frame, I-frame is called intra-picture, P-frame is called prediction picture. I-frame need more space and the best image quality.
- IP Cam (Network Camera)
- IPC
- IP Camera
- Network Camera
- An Internet protocol camera, or IP camera, is a type of digital video camera commonly employed for surveillance, and which, unlike analog closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, can send and receive data via a computer network and the Internet.
- IR LEDs
- Illuminates image in the night. Infrared light emitted by the light, wavelength of 850nm and 940nm, are not visible , energy saving, the past 10 years, it has been widely used in the field of security monitoring
- ISCSI
- IP Small Computer System Interface.
- IVS
- Intelligent Video Surveillance-Estimate the camera’s internal parameters (including internal geometric features, optical features) and external parameters (the camera’s 3D location and direction relative to the real coordinate system) according to one horizontal line and three altitude lines calibrated by users, then confirm the corresponding relations between the 2D image captured by the camera and real 3D object.
- LAN
- Local Area Network
- A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link. For example, an enterprise network is generally a local area network. A network of large-scale video surveillance project is a local area network.
- MAC Address
- MAC is the ID of the computer. Each computer has its own identity. It is unique around the world. The Mac address is binding with the device once it is produced. Usually we do not modify it. Of course, we can use COM to change its setup.
- MAIN STREAM
- This is the main video output stream feeds for the camera or channels that is for a local remote use, meaning within network.
- Minumum Illumination
- Min Illumination
- Minimum illumination is a parameter to show the camera‘s performance in the night or low light scene. The smaller the value is ,the higher the sensitivity of the sensor is.
- MJPEG
- M-JPEG
- Motion JPEG
- Motion JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video compression format in which each video frame or interlaced field of a digital video sequence is compressed separately as a JPEG image.
- Multicast
- It is to allow the NVR/DVR to work more efficently by steaming one access feed and letting the Router device distribute the video feed to multiple devices.
- NAS
- Network Attached Storage
- a file-level access storage architecture with storage elements attached directly to a LAN.
- NVR
- Network Video Recorder.
- ONVIF
- A global and open industry forum with the goal to facilitate the development and use of a global open standard for the interface of physical IP-based security products. Or in other words, to create a standard for how IP products within video surveillance and other physical security areas can communicate with each other
- ONVIF/PSIA
- PSIA
- These protocol regulate the function of application interface. By these protocol, not only DAHUA IPC could be accessed to DAHUA NVR, but also others brands that support ONVIF or PSIA. And all over network devices, which support ONVIF or PSIA, could communicate each other.
- P2P
- Is a network point to point access without compromising the Router or modem's firewall.

- RAID
- Known as Redundant Array of Independent Disks, a technology that is used to increase the performance and/or reliability of data storage.
- Resolution
- The resolution of a camera is often limited by the image sensor that turns light into discrete signals. The brighter the image at a given point on the sensor, the larger the value that is read for that pixel.
- ROI
- Region of Interest- allows cameras to enhance image quality of region of interest by decreasing non-ROI’s image quality to acquire more computing power and bandwidth.

- The difficulty level of target detection and alarm, the higher the sensitivity is, the easier it is to detect, but with more false alarms; the lower the sensitivity is, the less false alarm will be, but with more failed alarms.
- Size filter
- Only reserve the target which meets the requirement of size (width height/area) and aspect ratio.
- Smart detection
- tripwire, intrusion detection, abandoned/missing, scene change, defocus, facial detection and audio detection, allowing automatically detect under rulemaking and trigger alarms, accordingly.
- SSD
- Solid State Drive, a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently.
- SUB STREAM
- This is the secondary or third video output stream for access the DVR/NVR/IP Camera system from a remote location.
- Target
- Moving object with some certain type (such as human, vehicle and etc.) which appears in the field.
- TCP/UDP
- TCP
- UDP
- These protocol regulate the transmission method of network signal of IP equipments. By these protocol, we realized our DAHUA IPC to access our DAHUA NVR, and all over the DAHUA network devices could communicate each other.
- Tripwire Function
- Only applied to the scene where the targets are sparse and there is rarely any covering between targets, such as the perimeter without any guard. It will trigger alarm when the target passes through the warning line according to the set movement direction. It takes some time from the target appears to the target is confirmed, so it needs to leave some space when setting warning line, do not set it near the covering. Detect if there is any object crossing the warning line, it can support different direction selection, such as A->B, B->A and bidirectional, and it can activate record , snapshot and alarm according to the judgment result.
