Glossary
PAL  (Phase Alternate Line)  
 A standard of specifications for television transmission for 
color TV signals used in West Germany, England, Holland, Australia, and several other 
countries. It uses an interlaced format with 625 lines per frame at 25 frames per second.
PoE  (Power over Ethernet)  
 A system designed to transmit electrical power, along with 
data, to remote devices over a standard twisted pair cable in an Ethernet network.
Shutter Speed  
The speed at which the charge is read out from the CCD chip. Adjusts the 
light sensitivity of the camera. A faster (briefer) shutter speed can arrest the motion of a fast 
moving object (reduce image blur), rendering it sharp. Fast shutter speeds allow less light 
to all on the CCD and can darken the image. For fast shutter speeds, ensure there is 
adequate lighting. Usually selected using DIP switches on the side of the camera.
Subnet Mask  
A number used to identify a subnetwork so that an IP address can be shared 
on a LAN.
True Day/Night  
The incorporation of a moving mechanical IR filter within the camera 
ensures true 24 hour surveillance, providing high quality color images during the day and 
similar quality black & white images at night when used with IR lighting.
