AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
video gain (including the noise) to maintain a 1V p-p (1-volt peak-to-peak) video signal
output. It becomes operational when the light level is low. The circuit is designed to
compensate for fluctuations in scene illumination which would cause the video output
level to be too low. If the video level (scene illumination) is adequate, the circuit does not
apply any gain to the signal. As the video level falls, more gain is applied by the AGC
circuit to the video signal.
ALC (Automatic Light Compensation)
opening.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
IP addresses to nodes (workstations) automatically. Provides client information including
subnetwork mask, gateway address, and DNS (Domain Address Server) addresses.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
conditions.
DSS (Digital Slow Shutter)
DSS might introduce motion blur. The higher the DSS setting, the more likely motion blur
will occur.
ELC (Electronic Light Control)
brightness is controlled electronically by the camera through automatically adjusting
shutter speed for a properly exposed picture.
Flickerless
Eliminates the "flicker" that can appear in an image under certain lighting
conditions (for example, fluorescent lighting). This is usually caused by the interaction of
the shutter with the AC frequency of the lighting.
FOV (Field of View)
The part of the scene visible with a particular lens. The height
(horizontal) and width (vertical) picture size at a given distance that can be seen through
a lens. Generally, shorter focal length lenses have a wider field of view than those with
longer focal lengths.
Gain
The amplification a system provides to a signal.
IP Address
A unique, 32-bit identifier for a specific TCP/IP host computer on a network.
Iris Adjust
Adjusts the iris to either open or close in response to changing light
conditions.
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)
television transmission in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Central American, and half of South
America. The North American system uses interlaced scans and 525 horizontal lines per
frame at 30 frames per second.
