Zoom Ratio
Describes the capability to change a camera's field of view through three planes of
reference. Panning refers to physically sweeping a camera from side-to-side (xy-plane)
whereas tilting is the ability to move it up-and-down (azimuth). Zooming changes a
camera's lens magnification giving the visual effect that the point-of-focus is closer or
further away.
A measure of the ability of a camera, encoder or video system to reproduce detail. In
analog systems, resolution usually refers to the number of lines that make up an image.
Whereas with digital systems, resolution gives a measure of the number of pixels used
to generate the image.
The command center where security personnel monitor and respond to security and
safety related incidents.
Unshielded twisted pair. A cable medium with one or more pairs of twisted insulated

The process of magnifying a video image by using computational algorithms on the
digital signal.
The process of magnifying a video image by changing a lens' focal length.
A lens that may be effectively used as a standard or telephoto lens by varying its focal
length.
The ratio of the starting focal length (wide position) to the ending focal length (telephoto
position) of a zoom lens. A lens with a 10X zoom ratio will magnify the image at the
wide-angle end by 10 times.
