LED
Abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode . An electronic semiconductor component, built in to
MOBOTIX cameras and add-on modules, which emits light when current flows through
the component in the correct direction.
Linux
Free and open source operating system; serves as the operating system for all MOBOTIX
cameras.
Megapixel
Images that are 1 million pixels. Larger formats of images can be displayed as a multiple
of this, for example, 3 Megapixel is equal to 3 million pixels.

Motion Detection
Action of sensing a movement within a particular area. MOBOTIX cameras use algorith-

into account preset conditions. If a camera detects a movement, it signals an event and
triggers an alarm.
Motion JPEG, or M-JPEG,
is a video compression method where each individual image is compressed separately
as a JPEG image. Unlike MPEG, the quality of M-JPEG recordings is not dependent on
movement within the image.
MPEG
Motion Pictures Expert Group . Standard for compressing and saving image and video
data, resulting in quality loss. Originally created for playing entertainment content on PCs,
MPEG concentrates on displaying still image material and compromises the quality of
moving image material in order to increase the transmission speed.
MxControlCenter
MOBOTIX video management software for professional control of mid-sized and large
camera networks.
MxEasy
MOBOTIX video management software for small and compact camera networks of up
to 16 cameras.
MxPEG
MOBOTIX-developed protocol for compression and storage of image and video data with
minimal network load and high image quality. The MxPEG ActiveX control component
allows video and audio data from MOBOTIX cameras to be displayed in other applica-
