Glossary
Common Intrusion Alarm Terms AC (Alternating Current): An electrical current that periodically reverses direction of electron flow. The rate a full cycle occurs in a given unit of time, generally a second, is called the frequency of the current. The change in current is due to a change in voltage that occurs at the same frequency. Acoustic Glass Break Detector: A glass break detector that senses unique acoustic frequencies or frequency profiles that are present when glass breaks. Alarm: An electronic signal, transmitted to the monitoring facility. Indicates that an emergency, which requires follow up, has been detected. When an alarm system is not monitored, the alarm condition activates one or more sounding or visual indicating devices. Alarm Verification: Generic name given to many techniques used to confirm or deny the validity of alarm signals received at the monitoring facility. Alarm System: A detection signaling system that is considered to be the combination of interrelated signal initiating devices, signal indicating devices, control equipment and interconnecting wiring installed for a particular application. Arm, Away: The condition of a burglar alarm system in an armed state when no one remains on site within the protected premises. In this condition, all interior and perimeter sensors are active. Arm, Home: Arming a residential burglar alarm system while remaining at home. In this condition, interior protection is removed from being active to permit those who are inside to have free movement within the protected premises without causing an alarm. Audible: Able to be heard. Audio Alarm Verification: The transfer of sounds from the protected premises to the monitoring facility as a result of activation of one or more non-audio sensors, to confirm or deny the validity of the alarm signal. The audio link may be one-way or two-way. Battery: A backup power source, usually rechargeable, to provide power in the event of AC loss. Bill Trap: A sensor that detects the removal of a specific bill in a cash drawer.
Earth Ground: A direct electrical path to earth. Usually a co water pipe, the steel beams of a building, or a steel rod driv at least six feet into the earth and bonded to the Electrical System as defined by the National Electrical Code.
Central Station: Generic name for a monitoring facility. However this term, as broadly and traditionally used in the alarm and insurance industry, refers to a monitoring facility that is physically remote from the building or building complex in which the alarm system it monitors is located.
End User: The person or business that actually uses the alarm system.
Contact: Also known as a switch. A switch detects an interruption in the continuous flow of energy, just as it does in any basic electrical device. Throwing the switch up or down or side to side can either open or close that circuit depending on your goals. For most home security devices, it’s much easier to use a closed circuit, so that break-ins (and not door or window closings) trigger the signal. Control Panel: The “brains” of the alarm system, with receives information from all of the input devices (contacts, motion detectors, glass break detectors, etc), processes the information, and triggers the output devices (communicator, siren, strobe, etc). Current: Flow of electricity through a circuit over a period of time; current is measured in amperes. dB (Decibel): Logarithmic scale measuring the intensity of sounds (the sound pressure level); a 10 decibel (dB) increase represents in a doubling of sound level.
Event Log: A record of actions performed and recorded by security or access control program. False Alarm: An alarm event indicating the presence of an emergency condition when none exists. Fire Alarm: A system that detects and reports a fire in the protected premises, detects and reports water flowing in a sprinkler system, or detects and reports dangerous conditio such as smoke or overheated materials that may combust spontaneously. Foot Rail: A sensor that can be activated by a person’s foot trigger a hold-up alarm signal. Foot Switch: See Foot Rail. Glass Break Detector: A sensor that detects unique effects of breaking glass. Ground Fault: An undesired path that allows current to flow in a ground conductor. Hardwire Systems: Each sensing device is physically wire to alarm control box.
Digital Dialer: A device that electronically dials through the phone line to the monitoring facility ensures that contact has been made, and sends an electronic message indicating alarm activation, low battery, arming/disarming, etc.
High Water Level Sensor: A sensor that detects higher-th expected water or other liquid levels. Example: Rising ground water in the basement of a building
Direct Connect: An alarm system that transmits signals directly to alarm receiving equipment at a PSAP. This term generally refers to burglar and hold-up alarm systems. See also Remote Station. Disarm, Turn Off: A procedure followed by a system user to turn off an alarm system so that no alarm signals will be transmitted to the monitoring facility, nor will any audible or visual signal be generated at the alarm system location. If a system is disarmed within a pre-determined time period after a sensor has been triggered (typically referred to as a delay period), it may be possible to abort the alarm and prevent it from being transmitted to the monitoring facility.
BUS: A connector module or interface for power distribution to and among appliances for a rigid conductor in an electric circuit used to connect three or more circuits.
Door Switch: A sensor that detects the open or closed condition of a door or gate.
Call List: List of user-authorized agents and their telephone numbers, in the order in which the monitoring facility is to follow in attempting to reach someone for notification purposes. Unless otherwise instructed, the notification process stops when one person has been notified.
Event: One or more related alarm or trouble signals.
Delay Zone: One or more sensors in an alarm circuit that are wired so that, when triggered, a specific time delay results before an alarm condition is generated. Delay zones are often created for the most frequently used exit and entry doors to allow for sufficient time for normal entry and exit without causing alarm conditions.
Burglar Alarm: An alarm system that, while armed, is designed to detect and report: (1) the presence of one or more unauthorized persons on the protected premises, or (2) an illegal attempt made to enter or to move within the protected premises at one or more points equipped with a sensor.
By-Pass: A means of removing one or more devices or zones from an alarm system to enable the remainder of the system to be used and to provide protection. Many alarm control units send a special signal to the monitoring facility when any portion of the protection is by-passed to advise that lessthan-complete protection is in effect. When the by-passed devices or zones are back to normal and included in the system again, a follow-up advisory signal is transmitted to the monitoring facility.
394
Cellular Backup: The use of stationary cellular telephone equipment to replace or supplement other means of alarm signal communication between the alarm system and the monitoring facility.
Duress Alarm: A system that reports the presence of one or more persons trying to force an individual to enter, or re-enter, a facility against the individual’s will. Note: Although the triggering devices for hold-up, duress, and panic alarms are often the same or similar, police response may differ. A duress alarm, for example, may be designed to detect and silently report an employee being forced back into a protected facility to provide access to a safe, vault, drug storage area, or area containing confidential records. The intent is generally not to make the criminal aware that a call for help is being triggered to the monitoring facility. In a residential environment, a duress alarm could signal an abduction or rape attempt.
High Temperature Sensor: A sensor that detects a higherthan expected temperature - often in an unattended industr process system.
Hold-Up Alarm: A system that reports the presence of one or more criminals attempting to take goods or funds with implied or actual threat of force. HA (Home Automation): The interoperation of devices and subsystems in the home (based on events, schedules, user actions) to increase the safety, convenience, or comfort of the home. Home Automation: A house that is expected to be able to call the police or the firemen by itself, with more subtleness and a wider variety of allowances than normal alarm system Hybrid Security System: A combination of both wired and wireless security products, used in conjunction with each other, to create an alarm system Input Device: Any device that feeds information from the field to the control panel. Examples include contacts, motio sensors, glass breaks, etc. Instant Zones: Any zone that immediately goes into an alar condition upon activation. Interior Zones: Sensing devices that are located in the interior of the protect area, typically PIR’s. Jumper: A patch cable or wire used to establish a circuit, often temporarily, for testing or diagnostics.

Examples: Unattended industrial process systems, a heated building subject to damage or whose contents are subject to damage due to below-freezing temperature, wet-pipe sprinkler systems, etc. Magnetic Contacts: The contacts operate on the principle that when the door or window moves more that 1/2" from the frame, the magnetic field on the switch is removed and this breaks the alarm circuit (or zone) which trips off the system. Once tripped, the alarm signal cannot be stopped by just closing door or window. Mercury Switch: A set of electrical contacts that are opened or closed as a sphere of liquid mercury encompasses them or is removed from them inside a hermetically sealed enclosure. Usually the enclosure is tilted in one direction to close the switch and in the opposite direction to open it. Money Clip: See Bill Trap.

If the system is not armed by regular closing times or is disarmed out of opening times, a phone call is made to either the client or the police. Panic Alarm: A system that reports a more general type of perceived emergency, including the presence of one or more unruly or inebriated individuals, unwanted persons trying to gain entry, observed intruders in a private yard or garden area, or a medical emergency. Provides police with little specific information, but is often the only way a user can call for assistance under abnormal conditions. Panic Button: A manually-activated device to trigger a panic alarm. Passive InfraRed: A passive motion sensor that detects a change in infrared energy that typically occurs when a person, pet, or other object moves within the detector’s field of sensitivity. Perimeter System: Sensing devices that are located on exterior doors and windows to activate an alarm. Photo-Electric Beam: A sensor that detects the blocking of a beam of invisible light between two or more points. Phone Line Seizure: When an alarm is activated, this device automatically cuts off the phone service on the alarm line and transmits the information to the monitoring facility. Upon completion of this transmission, the phone line is released and returned to anormal status.
RJ31: A special telephone jack used to allow equipment (typically security systems) to seize immediate control of the phone line even if that phone line was in use. Seismic Sensor: A sensor that detects vibrations generated by a person walking or digging in its area of sensitivity. Short: An incomplete circuit caused by a hot conductor coming into contact with a ground or metal component. Shunt: To remove some portion of an alarm system from operation to allow entry into a protected area without initiating an alarm signal.

Speaker: Audible noise maker that works either indoor or outdoor with burglar alarm. Star: A topology where all wire drops are wired directly to a central distribution point that establishes maintains and breaks connection to the drops. Swinger Shunt: A method of by-passing a complete alarm system or a portion of an alarm system to prevent repeated alarm signals from being transmitted by the alarm system before it can be reset. The purpose of a swinger shunt is to prevent false alarms and to prevent unduly loading a communication channel with unnecessary signal volume. Telephone Line Monitor: A sensor that monitors one or more conditions of a telephone circuit to detect when such a circuit has become incapable of reporting alarm-detected problems to the monitoring facility.
Plenum: Space above the ceiling and below the floor or roof above, used for air distribution or ductwork placement.
Tie Wrap (Cable Tie): Plastic or nylon strapping used for binding or bundling cables together or holding them in place. Several styles of tie-wraps are available: cinching, holemounted, and adhesive closure.
Polarity: Description of an electrical circuit in which one side is positive and the other side is negative.
Transformer: An electrical component that converts input voltage and current to a different output voltage and current
Polarity Reversal: A direct connected alarm system that uses polarity reversal to indicate an alarm condition at the monitoring alarm receiving panel. See also Direct Connect.
Trouble: A non-emergency condition indicating that the alarm system is inoperative or functioning at less than optimum capability. Trouble conditions may include sensors that have become less sensitive or more susceptible to causing false alarms, or batteries that have deteriorated or are inoperative.
Power Supply: Component of all electronic devices used to transform the electrical power supplied through a wall outlet into power the electric component can use. Pressure Pad: A sensor that detects an increase or decrease in pressure (such as a person standing on the pad or an object being removed from the pad). Proximity Sensor: See Capacity Sensor. Pre-Wire: The installation of wiring in a home before the drywall is installed during new construction. Reed Switch: A magnetically-activated, hermetically sealed sensor. Reset: A return to normal operation for an alarm system that has been in a trouble condition, out of service, or in an alarm condition. When a system has been reset it is back in full operation and subsequent signals received from the system will be treated normally. A reset is more than merely the restoration-to-normal of a sensor, or an abort message or call from the user. With a reset event, the system is back in full and normal operation. Restore: A system, zone, or sensor that is returned to normal status. This does not necessarily mean that the alarm system is considered to be back to full operating status by the monitoring facility. However, the term tends to be used interchangeably with Reset, and there is no formal or generally-accepted distinction between them.
Two-Way Voice: A technology for allowing a central station operator to hear what transpires after an alarm is activated and to talk to person on the scene. U.P.S. (Uninterruptible Power Supply): A backup power unit that provides continuous power when the normal power supply is interrupted. UPS systems can be stand-by, only supplying power when the regular supply is interrupted, or fulltime, relying on regular power and/or batteries to supply it while it supplies power to the protected device. User: The person responsible for the correct operation of the alarm system (the boss, the buyer). Not necessarily the person who actually operates the alarm system. Vibration Sensor: A sensor that detects vibrations generated during forced entry or an attempted forced entry. Walk Test: Testing a space protection sensor to identify its coverage pattern by walking though the protected area. Zone: An identifiable sensor or group of sensors, connected to an alarm control, which can be addressed and manipulated from the control, from the monitoring facility, or from an arming station. Zones may also represent different types of protection such as burglar, fire, hold-up, etc.

Glossary
Common CCTV Terms AC (Alternating Current): An electrical current that periodically reverses direction of electron flow. The rate a full cycle occurs in a given unit of time, generally a second, is called the frequency of the current. The change in current is due to a change in voltage that occurs at the same frequency. Activity Detection: Refers to a method built into some multiplexers for detecting movement within the camera’s field of view (connected to the multiplexer), which is then used to improve camera recording update rate. It should not be confused with video motion detection. AGC (Automatic Gain Control): A circuit for automatically controlling amplifier gain in order to maintain a constant output voltage with a varying input voltage within a predetermined range of input-to-output variation. Analog Signal: Representation of data by continuously varying quantities, with respect to time. An analog electrical signal has a different value of volts or amperes, or phases of either, for electrical representation of the original excitement (sound, light) within the dynamic range of the system Angle of View: The angular range that can be focused within the image size. Small focal lengths give a wide angle of view, and large focal lengths give a narrow field of view. Aperture: The opening of a lens which controls the amount of light reaching the surface of the pickup device. The size of the aperture is controlled by the iris adjustment. By increasing the F-stop number (f1.4, f1.8, f2.8, etc.) less light is permitted to pass to the pickup device. Archive: Long-term off-line storage. In digital systems, pictures are generally archived onto some form of hard disc, magnetic tape, floppy disk or DAT cartridge, CDROM or DVD.

The better the lighting, the greater the depth of field possible. In other words, the depth of field is the area in front of the camera which remains in focus. The larger the f-number the greater is the depth of field.

Footcandle: It is the light intensity (illumination) of a surface one foot distant from a source of one candela. It is equal to one lumen per square foot. (1FC = 1 lm ft2). The foot-candle is the unit used to measure incident light. Frame: The total area, occupied by the television picture, which is scanned while the picture signal is not blanked.

A lens a larger format size can be used on a smaller format camera, however a smaller format lens should never be used with a larger format camera. Level Control: Main iris control. Used to set the auto-iris circuit to a video level desired by the user. After set-up, the circuit will adjust the iris to maintain this video level in changing lighting conditions. Turning the control towards High will open the iris, towards Low will close the iris. Looping: The method of feeding a series of high impedance circuits (such as multiple monitor/displays in parallel) from a pulse or video source with a coax transmission line in such a manner that the line is bridged (with minimum length stubs) and that the last unit properly terminates the line in its characteristic impedance.

Glossary MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group): An ISO group of experts that has recommended manipulation of digital motion images. Today there are a couple of MPEG recommendations, of which the most well known are MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. The latter one is widely accepted for high definition digital television, as well as multimedia presentation. Network: Computers connected together to share information. Think of a network as a city and the computers as houses within the city. Two types of networks are LAN and WAN. (1) LAN: Local Area Network; multiple computers connected together to share information. Shared information could be e-mail, files, and printers. Think of a LAN as a neighborhood. (2) WAN: Wide Area Network; multiple LANs connected together, usually over a great distance, to share information. Think of a WAN as all neighborhoods in a city. Nit: A measurement of luminance = 1 candela/ m2. Noise: Typically low-level electrical distortions and interference created in an electronic component from power supply hum, interactions between internal electrical components, etc. NTSC (National Television System Committee): Is an organization that formulated the standards for the current United States color television system. This system is used in most countries of the Americas, as well as other parts of the world. It was designed to be compatible with the existing monochrome TV sets; so that they would not become obsolete and color televisions would also be able to receive monochrome transmissions. NTSC employs 525 lines per frame, 29.97 frames per second and 59.94 fields per second. Ohm: The unit of resistance. The electrical resistance between two points of a conductor where a constant difference of potential of 1 Volt applied between these points produces in the conductor a current of 1 Ampere, the conductor not being the source of any electromotive force. It can be represented by the formula V = I x R, where: V = Voltage, I = Current, R = Resistance. Ohm’s Law: Voltage equals current multiplied by resistance. V = c * R, c = V / R, R = V / c Passive: A non-powered element of a system.
RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks): This a technology of connecting a number of hard drives into one mass storage device, which can be used, among other things, for digital recording of video images.

A type of coaxial cable that is most common in use in small to medium-size CCTV systems. It has an outer diameter of approx. 6 mm and it is a good compromise between maximum distances achievable (up to 266m) and good transmission. RG-6 Cable: A coaxial cable used for broadband video applications with a 20 gauge center conductor, allowing a higher bandwidth then RG59 cable. Uses standard “F” connectors for video equipment connections. Router: A router is a device that connects two networks. The router reads the destination address of information sent over a network and then sends the information to the next step in its route. RS-232: A format of digital communication using a three wire unbalanced presentation. The RS-232 standard defines the presentation and voltages for asynchronous communications, but it does not define how the data should be represented by the bits, i.e., it does not define the overall message format and protocol. It is very often used in computers, CCTV and communications between keyboards and matrix switchers. RS-422: This is an advanced format of digital communication when compared to RS-232. A major difference is that the presentation is balanced line and the signaling is differential. In simple terms, the signal transmitted is read at the receiving end as the difference between the two wires without a reference to earth. So if there is common mode noise induced along the line, it will be cancelled out. RS-422 can drive lines of up to 1200m and distribute data on to up to 10 receivers.
Pan & Tilt: A device upon which a camera can be mounted that allows movement in both the azimuth (pan) and in the vertical plane (tilt).
RS-485: This is an advanced format of digital communications compared to RS-232. It is a balanced line transmission system. The major improvement over RS422 is in the number of receivers that can be driven with this format, up to 32. It is classically a half duplex 2 wire presentation.

Preset Positioning: A function of a pan and tilt unit, including the zoom lens, where a number of certain viewing positions can be stored in the system’s memory (usually this is in the telemetry receiver) and can be recalled when required, either upon an alarm trigger, programmed or manual recall. Protocol: A specific set of rules, procedures or conventions relating to format and timing of data transmission between two devices. A standard procedure that two data devices must accept and use to be able to understand each other.

Serial Port: A computer I/O (input/output) port through which the computer communicates with the external world. The standard serial port is RS-232 based and allows bi-directional communication on a 3-wire connection, as a serial data stream.
Single Mode Fiber: An optical glass fiber that comprises a core of very small diameter. A typical single-mode fiber used in CCTV has a 9 μm core and a 125 μmouter diameter. Singlemode fiber has less attenuation and therefore transmits signals at longer distances (easily up to 40km unrepeated). Such fibers are normally used only with laser sources because of their very small acceptance cone. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): The internet protocol suite can be described by analogy with the OSI model, which describes the layers of a protocol stack, not all of which correspond well with internet practice. In a protocol stack, each layer solves a set of problems involving the transmission of data, and provides a well-defined service to the higher layers. Higher layers are logically closer to the user and deal with more abstract data, relying on lower layers to translate data into forms that can eventually be physically manipulated. Twisted Pair: A cable composed of two small insulated conductors twisted together. Since both wires have nearly equal exposure to any interference, common mode noise is high, but the differential noise is slight thus common mode noise is rejected in a twisted pair line. Twisted pair cable is used for balanced line transmission. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): These are power supplies used in the majority of high security systems, whose purpose is to back-up the system when the mains power fails. The duration of this depends on the size of the UPS, usually expressed in output VA (or kVA), and the hold up time expected from fully charged batteries. There are two common types, “off line” and “on line”. Off line uses a switch to change from mains to battery operation, thus there can be a short break in the output. On Line UPS are a type where the converter is always working, hence there is no switch over break at the output. Vari-Focal: A low cost version of a zoom lens designed to meet installers’ needs for versatility. This lens does not have the ability to track from wide to telephoto. Video Amplifier: A wideband amplifier used for passing picture signals. Video Motion Detection: A system that uses the video signal from a camera to determine if there is any movement in the picture and set of an alarm. Video Type Lens: An auto-iris lens without an internal circuit to control the iris. All iris control voltages come from a circuit located within the camera. Zoom Lens: A lens system that may be effectively used as a wide angle, standard or telephoto lens by varying the focal length of the lens. Zoom Ratio: 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.
Server: A computer and its software that provides some service for other computers connected to it through a network. Short: An incomplete circuit caused by a hot conductor coming into contact with a ground or metal component. Signal-to-Noise Ratio: The ratio between useful video signal and disturbing noise or snow.

Forced Entry: A condition that exists when a door is forced open prior to a valid user entering the door.
Facility Code: When access control was originally developed, the memory capacity of chips was relatively small. If the access control systems would ever lose power, the system needed a “default mode or degraded mode”. A system would go into a default mode when power was lost. In a default mode the system would fall back to the facility code to let someone enter the facility. Rather than look at each individual number, the system would look for any card that had the correct facility code. This meant that if two systems were installed across the street from each other, the system on one side of the street might have facility code 12, for example, and the company on the other side of the street would have facility code 13. Cardholders who had facility code 12 could not enter a building with a facility code 13, and vice versa. Although memory in chips has greatly increased, and the systems really no longer require a facility code, the access control industry still often uses a facility code in their formats as a convenient way to partition card data.

This is also referred to as fail lock. Fail Locked: An electric lock that automatically locks with any power interruption. Also called fail-secure. Fail-Unlocked: An electric lock that automatically unlocks with any power interruption. Also called fail-safe. Fire Door: A door constructed to provide a specific degree of fire protection Fire Exit Hardware: Exit devices which may legally be installed on fire doors.

In a protocol stack, each layer solves a set of problems involving the transmission of data, and provides a well-defined service to the higher layers. Higher layers are logically closer to the user and deal with more abstract data, relying on lower layers to translate data into forms that can eventually be physically manipulated.

Glossary
Common Access Control: Biometrics Terms Algorithm: A sequence of instructions that tell a biometric system how to solve a particular problem. An algorithm will have a finite number of steps and is typically used by the biometric engine to compute whether a biometric sample and template are a match. See also ‘Artificial Neural Network’. Attempt: The submission of a biometric sample to a biometric system for identification or verification. A biometric system may allow more than one attempt to identify or verify. Behavioral Biometric: A biometric which is characterized by a behavioral trait that is learnt and acquired over time rather than a physiological characteristic. However, physiological elements may influence the monitored behavior. Biometric: A measurable, physical characteristic or personal behavioral trait used to recognize the identity, or verify the claimed identity, of an enrollee. Capture: The method of taking a biometric sample from the end user. Comparison: The process of comparing a biometric sample with a previously stored reference template or templates. See also ‘One-To-Many’ and ‘One-To-One’. Database: Any storage of biometric templates and related end user information. Even if only one biometric template or record is stored, the database will simply be “a database of one”. Generally speaking, however, a database will contain a number of biometric records. End User: A person who interacts with a biometric system to enroll or have his/her identity checked. Encryption: The act of converting biometric data into a code so that people will be unable to read it. A key or a password is used to decrypt (decode) the encrypted biometric data. Enrolment: The process of collecting biometric samples from a person and the subsequent preparation and storage of biometric reference templates representing that person’s identity.
False Acceptance Rate (FAR): The probability that a biometric system will incorrectly identify an individual or will fail to reject an impostor. The rate given normally assumes passive impostor attempts. The False Accept Rate may be estimated as
One-to-Many: Synonym for ‘Identification’.
False Rejection Rate (FRR): The probability that a biometric system will fail to identify an enrollee, or verify the legitimate claimed identity of an enrollee. The False Rejection Rate may be estimated as follows:
Template/Reference Template: Data, which represents the biometric measurement of an enrollee, used by a biometric system for comparison against subsequently submitted biometric samples.
FRR = NFR / NEIA or FRR = NFR / NEVA where; FRR - is the false rejection rate NFR - is the number of false rejections NEIA - is the number of enrollee identification attempts NEVA - is the number of enrollee verification attempts
Threshold/Decision Threshold: The acceptance or rejection of biometric data is dependent on the match score falling above or below the threshold. The threshold is adjustable so that the biometric system can be more or less strict, depending on the requirements of any given biometric application.
One-to-One: Synonym for ‘Verification’.
Physical/Physiological Biometric: A biometric which is characterized by a physical characteristic rather FAR = NFA / NIIA or FAR = NFA / NIVA where; than a behavioral trait. However, behavioral elements FAR - is the False Acceptance Rate may influence the biometric sample captured. See Part NFA - is the Number of False Acceptances 2 Terms Related to Specific Biometric Techniques for NIIA - is the Number of Impostor Identification Attempts ‘Body Odor’, ‘Ear Shape’, ‘Face Recognition’, ‘Finger NIVA - is the Number of Impostor Verification Attempts Geometry’, ‘Finger Image’, ‘Hand Geometry’, ‘Iris Recognition’, ‘Palm’, ‘Retina’, ‘Speaker Verification’ and ‘Vein False Rejection: When a biometric system fails to iden- check’.

The or area. failure may be due to failure to capture the biometric sample or failure to extract template data (of sufficient Score: The level of similarity from comparing a biometquality). ric sample against a previously stored template.
This estimate assumes that the enrollee identification/verification attempts are representative of those for the whole population of end-users. The False Rejection Rate normally excludes ‘Failure to Acquire’ errors
Throughput Rate: The number of end users that a biometric system can process within a stated time interval.
Identification/Identify: The one-to-many process of comparing a submitted biometric sample against all of the biometric reference templates on file to determine whether it matches any of the templates and, if so, the identity of the enrollee whose template was matched. The biometric system using the one-to-many approach is seeking to find an identity amongst a database rather than verify a claimed identity. Contrast with ‘Verification’.
User: The client to any biometric vendor. The user must be differentiated from the end user and is responsible for managing and implementing the biometric application rather than actually interacting with the biometric system.
Match/Matching: The process of comparing a biometric sample against a previously stored template and scoring the level of similarity. An accept or reject decision is then based upon whether this score exceeds the given threshold.
Verification/Verify: The process of comparing a submitted biometric sample against the biometric reference template of a single enrollee whose identity is being claimed, to determine whether it matches the enrollee’s template. Contrast with ‘Identification’.
Validation: The process of demonstrating that the system under consideration meets in all respects the specification of that system.
PART 2.

Glossary
Common Access Control: Video Badging Terms 24-Bit Color: A color depth for an image that uses 8 bits for each color (red, blue, green) combining the possible 256 shades to provide a color depth of 16.7 million colors. Batch print: A file sent down from the computer that contains commands to print a number of cards, sequentially. Bitmap: A graphic produced by an array of pixel elements with the color hue, brightness and saturation information stored in bits. The more bits, the more values and thus the greater variety. 1-bit color is black and white, 8-bit color produces 256 shades of gray and 24-bit color can produce 16.7 million colors.
Edge-to-Edge: Refers to the maximum printable area on a card resulting in printed cards with virtually no border. Encoder (Smart Card): An electro-mechanical interface to transfer data from the PC to a chip or Magnetic Stripe built into the card. Encoder (wheel): An electromechanical device, attached to a shaft that detects the change in rotational position, incremented to count ticks per revolution. The Printer’s encoder wheel both detects motion and measures the amount of rotation in the movement of the Ribbon.
CardJet Card Printing: CardJet Card Printing technology uses a series of dots to produce a color. Each drop of ink is 100% yellow, 100% magenta or 100% cyan. To get shades between 100% and 0%, the inkjet must dither (or disperse in a given pattern) a series of dots in an area to represent a color. Thus, to make lighter colors, the printer makes fewer dots in a given area. Conversely, it makes more dots for greater saturation. This process is called half toning.
Glossy/Matte: A smooth polished surface in comparison to a rougher matte surface. Fargo matte cards have a surface index (Ra) of approximately 65 micro inches while glossy have a Ra = 3.
Cleaning Roller: High tack Rollers positioned just after the input Hopper to lift debris off the card as it rolls over it. A clean card surface improves print quality.
HDP (High Definition Printing™): The High-Definition Printing process prints full-color images onto clear HDP transfer film (InTM). The HDP film is then fused to the card through heat and pressure via a heated Roller. The Printhead is capable of 256 shades with a sharper print and better color match.
CR-80: A card dimension standard of 2.125" X 3.370" (+/-0.002" W, +/-0.005" L) or 53.975 X 85.598 mm. CR-90: A card dimension standard of 2.375" X 3.625" (+/-0.002" W, +/-0.005" L) or 60.325 X 92.075 mm. Direct-to-Card (DTC) Printing: The Direct-to-Card printing process prints digital images directly onto any plastic card with a smooth, clean, glossy PVC surface. Dither: A system of distributing dots to control the hue, brightness and/or saturation. In monochrome printing, this controls the brightness. In color printing, dithering can supply a larger color gamut than non-dithering. In the Driver, dither modes can be selected to provide better image quality depending on the type of image to be printed. Duplex Printing: Printing on the front and the back of the card. Dye-Sublimation Card Printing: Dye-sublimation card printing technology (dye diffusion thermal transfer (D2T2)) uses a printhead containing hundreds of thermal elements, or pixels, to heat the dyes on a ribbon. The dyes then liquefy and diffuse into the surface of the card. A separate pass is made for each of the ribbon’s three, color panels. The more heat, the more dye flows and the greater the saturation. In this way, a single pixel can provide intermediate color shades: 23%, 39%, 52%, etc. Any intermediate shade is possible – no halftoning is required. By combining the colors of each panel, and by varying the heat used to transfer these colors, D2T2 technology can produce up to 16.7 million photo-realistic colors. The result is clear, high-resolution prints with true colors and accurate flesh tones. E-Card Docking Station: The device in the Printer that accepts smart cards with an ISO smart card contact station. This allows the user to write to the smart card chip with a standard RS-232 interface in the back of the Printer or with the optional built-in encoder.
Glossy PVC: A card made of PVC with a smooth polished surface (Surface roughness of approximately 0 – 10 micro-inches). This is required for direct to card dye-sublimation printing.

Tip/Ring: Common terms in the telephone service industry referring to the two wires or sides of an ordinary telephone line. Tip is the ground side (positive) and Ring is the battery (negative) side of a phone circuit. The ground side is common with the telco’s central office; the battery side carries -48 volts of DC voltage when in an “idle” or “on hook” state.

To ring the phone to alert to an incoming call, about 90 volts of 20 Hz AC current is superimposed over the DC voltage already present on the idle line. Tree Topology: A network topology in which the nodes are arranged as a tree. From a purely topologic viewpoint, this resembles an interconnection of star networks in that individual peripheral nodes (i.e. leaves) are required to transmit to and receive from one other node only and are not required to act as repeaters or regenerators. Unlike the star network, the function of the central node may be distributed. Twisted Pair (TP): Two insulated copper wires twisted around each other to reduce induction (thus interference) from one wire to another. The twists, or lays, are varied in length to reduce the potential for signal interference between pairs. Several sets of twisted pair wires may be enclosed in a single cable. In cables greater then 25 pairs, the twisted pairs are grouped and bound together in a common cable sheath. Universal Serial Bus (USB): Developed by seven PC and telecom industry leaders (Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Northern Telecom) with the goal of easy plug-and-play expansion outside the computer box, requiring no additional circuit cards.

USB devices can be attached / detached without shutting down or restarting the computer.
Virtual Private Network (VPN): A network that is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For example, a number of systems enable the creation of networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Wide Area Network (WAN): A public or private computer network serving a wide geographic area. The public switched telephone network is best-known example of a public WAN. Typically, users do not own the network, but pay a fee to use it. A complement to the LAN, a WAN consists of multiple local networks tied together from different locations. WEP (Wire Equivalent Privacy): A security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designated to provide the same level of security as that of a wire LAN. WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data, using the r40-bit or 128-bit encryption, over radio waves to that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. WAP (Wireless Access Point): A device that “connects” wireless communication devices together to create a wireless network. The WAP is usually connected to a wired network, and can relay data between devices on each side. Many WAPs can be connected together to create a larger network that allows “roaming”. In contrast, a network where the client devices manage themselves is called an ad-hoc network. Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity): Meant to be used generically when referring to any type of 801.11 wireless network, whiter 801.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, dual-band, etc. Zigbee: The name of a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols using small, low-power digital radios based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless personal area networks (WPANs), such as wireless headphones connecting with cell phones via short-range radio.
