LAN: Local Area Network:Your home network, which includes your internet modem and all the
equipment in the house that is connected to the network via cable or Wi-Fi.
WAN:Wide Area Network:The internet, if you have an Internet connection at home or anywhere
else.
Resolution: The quality and sharpness of the images. The resolution is expressed in pixels horizontal
x vertical. The higher the resolution the better the image quality of the IP camera.
Bitrate: The number of bits (transmission of information) that can be sent or received per unit of
time via a network connection. A bit is the smallest amount of information. The higher the bitrate,
the more information per unit of time will be send or received.
Framerate: The number of frames per second being imaged.
