10.1 Glossary

3G: 3G refers to the 3rd-generation telecommunication technology which is the high speed transmission of
the cell data. The 3G service can transmit sound and other data simultaneously and the bitrate is up to
hundreds kbps.

DHCP: DHCP is the acronym of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and it is one of the TCP/IP protocol
stacks, it is used to assign the dynamic IP address to the host on the network.

Dual Stream: Dual stream is a technology used to record high resolution video locally while transmitting a
lower resolution stream over the network.

GNSS: A satellite navigation system is a system of satellites that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning
with global coverage. It allows small electronic receivers to determine their location (longitude, latitude, and
altitude) to high precision (within a few meters) using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio
from satellites. The signals also allow the electronic receivers to calculate the current local time to high
precision, which allows time synchronization. A satellite navigation system with global coverage may be
termed GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).

GPS: GPS (Global Positioning System) is a space-based global navigation satellite system that provides
location and time information in all weather and anywhere on or near the earth, where there is an
unobstructed line of sight to 4 or more GPS satellite.

G-Sensor: G-sensor (Gravity-sensor) can sense the change of the accelerated force, such as the shaking, free
falling and lifting. And those changes of the accelerated force can be sensed by the G-sensor in a means of
electrical signals, and then link certain action according to the changes of the electrical signals. When
applied in the hard disk protection, G-Sensor can check the current status of the hard disk in case of the
affection of the R/W function by the sudden change of the accelerated force.

NTP: NTP is Network Time Protocol, and it is a protocol used to synchronize the computer time.

Sensor-In: Sensor-In is a built-in module on the mobile NVR used to record the movement information of
the vehicle, such as the braking, left-turning and right0turning and so on. The information can be used for
analysis of an accident.

Transparent Channel: Transparent channel is a mechanism which analyzes the IP datagram and sends it by
the serial interface. It extends the control distance of the serial devices and for the user, only the point to
point transmission is seen and the actual transmission is ignored.

VPDN: Virtual Private Dial-up Network is a network that uses primarily public telecommunication
infrastructure, such as the internet, to provide remote office or travelling users’ access to a central
organization network, such as the ISP private network, financial network and so on.

Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi is a mechanism of the wireless connecting electronic devices. A device enabled with WI-FI
such as PC, video game console, can connect to the internet via a wireless network access point.
