archive transfer
Archive transfer is the process of transferring your video
data from one location to another. The video is recorded and stored on the video unit
itself or on an Archiver storage disk, and then the recordings are transferred to
another location.
Archiver
The Archiver role is responsible for the discovery, status
polling, and control of video units. The Archiver also manages the video archive and
performs motion detection if it is not done on the unit itself.
Auxiliary Archiver
The Auxiliary Archiver role supplements the video
archive produced by the Archiver role. Unlike the Archiver role, the Auxiliary Archiver role
is not bound to any particular discovery port, therefore, it can archive any camera in
the system, including cameras federated from other Security Center systems. The Auxiliary Archiver role cannot
operate independently; it requires the Archiver role to communicate with video
units.
Continuous Delivery
The Continuous Delivery (CD) release track offers
customers an upgrade path with ongoing innovations, introducing new features, bug fixes,
performance enhancements, and support for the latest devices through minor versions. The
frequency of changes introduced on the CD track may be impractical for some
organizations, who opt for the long-term predictability of the LTS
track.

fusion stream encryption
Fusion stream encryption is a proprietary
technology of Genetec Inc. used to protect the privacy of your video archives. The
Archiver uses a two-level encryption strategy to ensure that only authorized client
machines or users with the proper certificates on smart cards can access your private
data.
Genetec™ Update Service
The Genetec™ Update Service (GUS) is automatically
installed with most Genetec™ products and
enables you to update products when a new release becomes available.

Global Cardholder Synchronizer
The Global Cardholder Synchronizer role ensures the
two-way synchronization of shared cardholders and their related entities between the
local system (sharing guest) where it resides and the central system (sharing
host).

known issues
Known issues are software issues that have been discovered
in the current or previous release of a product, and have not yet been
resolved.
limitations
Limitations are software or hardware issues that cannot be
fixed for a product. For some limitations, workarounds are documented in the product
release notes.
Long-Term Support
The Long-Term Support (LTS) release track offers
customers an upgrade path that minimizes changes to software and extends access to
critical bug and security fixes. The LTS track includes major and patch versions. Minor
versions are excluded. Choosing the LTS track limits your access to new capabilities,
but increases stability due to less frequent code change and extends the maintenance
period by two years.
Long-Term Support (LTS)
Acronym: LTS
major version
A major version is a software version that adds new
features, behavioral changes, SDK capabilities, support for new devices, and performance
improvements. Using backward compatibility mode, major versions are compatible with up
to three previous major versions. A license update is required to upgrade to a new major
version. A major version is indicated by a version number with zeros at the third and
fourth positions: X.Y.0.0. For more information, see our Product Lifecycle page on GTAP.
map view
A map view is a defined section of a map.
minor version
A minor version is a software version that adds new
features, SDK capabilities, support for new devices, bug fixes, and security fixes.
Different system components can run at different minor versions, provided they share the
same major version. No license update is required to upgrade to a new minor version. A
minor version is indicated by a version number with a zero at the fourth position:
X.Y.Z.0. For more information, see our Product Lifecycle page on GTAP.
patch version
A patch version is a software version that adds support for
new devices, bug fixes, and security fixes. Patch versions do not affect system
compatibility, as long as all your system components are at the same major version. If
you are on the Long-Term Support (LTS) track, patch versions only include critical bug
and security fixes. A patch version is indicated by a version number where the fourth
position is not a zero. For more information, see our Product Lifecycle page on GTAP.
privacy protection
In Security Center, privacy protection is software that
anonymizes or masks parts of a video stream where movement is detected. The identity of
individuals or moving objects is protected, without obscuring movements and actions or
preventing monitoring.
Privacy Protector™
The Privacy Protector™ role requests original video
streams from Archiver roles and applies data anonymization to the original video
streams. The privacy-protected (anonymized) video stream is then sent back to the
Archiver role for recording.
record cache
The record cache is the database where the Record Caching
Service role keeps copies of records ingested from external data sources in Security Center. You can generate reports on the
cached records using the Records investigation
task.
Record Caching Service
The Record Caching Service role is used for data
ingestion. Using this role, you can import records from external data sources
into Security Center. You can share the ingested
data across the entire unified platform to enhance awareness and response, to provide
contextual information on dynamic maps, or to visualize in operational
dashboards.
Record Fusion Service
The Record Fusion Service is the central role that
provides a unified querying mechanism for data records that come from a wide variety of
sources, such as Security Center modules or
third-party applications. All record requests go through this role, which then queries
their respective record providers.
record type
In Security Center, a
record type defines the data format and display properties of a set of records that you
can share across the entire system through the Record Fusion Service
role.
Records
The Records task in an investigation
task that you can use to query the record providers registered in Security Center and find relevant information based
on known or suspected correlations.
sharing guest
A sharing guest is a Security Center system that has been
given the rights to view and modify entities owned by another Security Center system,
called the sharing host. Sharing is done by placing the entities in a global
partition.
sharing host
A sharing host is a Security Center system that gives the right to other
Security Center systems to view and modify
its entities by putting them up for sharing in a global partition.
video analytics
Video analytics is the software technology that is used
to analyze video for specific information about its content. Examples of video analytics
include counting the number of people crossing a line, detection of unattended objects,
or the direction of people walking or running.
video sequence
A video sequence is any recorded video stream of a certain
duration.
