channel, the device to which the RS-232 interface connects.
Computers, switches, multiplexers, cameras, and keyboards are
DTE.
DVR (digital video recorder) A device (usually a computer) that
acts like a VCR in that it has the ability to record and play back
video images. The DVR takes the feed from a camera and
records it into a digital format on a storage device which is most

Ethernet A local area network (LAN) architecture using a bus
or star topology and supporting data transfer rates of 10, 100,
and 1000 Mbps. It is one of the most widely implemented LAN
standards. The 802.11 protocols are often referred to as
“wireless Ethernet.”
Firmware Software stored in read-only memory (ROM) or
programmable ROM (PROM), therefore becoming a permanent
part of a computing device.
IP (Internet Protocol) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol
suite widely used on Ethernet networks.
IP Camera See S2500e.
LAN (local area network) A computer network that spans a
relatively small area. A LAN can connect workstations, personal
computers, and surveillance equipment (like edge devices). See
also WAN.
MPEG-4 A graphics and video lossy compression algorithm
standard that is derived from MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and H.263.
MPEG-4 extends these earlier algorithms with synthesis of
speech and video, fractal compression, computer visualization,
and artificial intelligence-based image processing techniques.
Multicast Communication between a sender and multiple
receivers on a network; the devices can be located across
multiple subnets, but not through the Internet. Multicast is a set
of protocols using UDP/IP for transport.
