CVBS
CVBS is the acronym by which composite video is often referred to. The idea of this definition means Color, Video, Erase and Synchronized.
The most widely used cable is the already known coaxial cables with a BNC connector or RCA connector.
VGA
The term VGA (Video Graphics Array or Video Graphics Adapter) is a graphics display system for PCs developed by IBM. VGA has become one of the standards for the PC image. In text mode, VGA provides a resolution of 720 by 400 pixels. In graphics mode, the resolution is either 640 by 480 (with 16 colors) or 320 by 200 (with 256 colors). The color palette is 262,144.Unlike earlier graphic standards for PCs - MDA, CGA, EGA and VGA - uses analog signals rather than digital signals. Since its introduction in 1987, several other standards have been developed that offer greater resolution and more colors (SVGA, XGA ...), but VGA remains the denominator used. All personal computers manufactured today still have support VGA, and possibly some other more advanced connection.

Categories network cables
Depending on the quality and type, network cables are classified into categories that help us know the characteristics of them.
The categories of network cables most commonly used are:
- Category 5
- Category 5e
- Category 6
- Category 6
- Category 7
As can be seen, category 5e (enhanced or improved) and category 6A (Augmented), are an improvement of categories 5and 6, respectively, which it has improved the top speed and bandwidth.
The higher the category, the higher the speed of maximum data, the maximum 100 meters distance as its standard.
You can see a table which shows the 5 categories, where V is the maximum velocity, D is the maximum and MHz frequency which can work away.
VDC
VDC would be the abbreviation for Volt Direct Current which translated would volts direct current. The idea of ??this type is unidirectional current to the load. Direct current is normally produced by batteries, thermocouples, solar cells and a dynamo electric machine type. The direct current can flow in conductors such as wires, but may also flow through semiconductors, insulators ...

Movement detector
Within the detection systems we can find different types according to their operation, among them the most common:
- Infrared sensors
- Vibration sensors.
- Photoelectric sensors.
- Ultrasound sensors.
- Acoustic sensors
Each type of sensor uses different detection methods and each one is recommended according to the situation.
- Sensors by infraRrojos, are one of the most used types, thanks to its reliable operation and installation, since we can find this type of wired and wireless sensors.
The infrared sensor has a phototransistor capable of detecting the infrared electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body, this type of radiation is not visible by the human eye. A change of radiation in its perimeter will activate the relay and proceed to send ato alarm signal.
Within these, there are two models, passive infrared sensor, which only has a phototransistor and assets, which have an emitter and a receiver. - Vibration sensors are used mostly in security systems, such as window sensors. car alarms etc.
Its operation is based on an accelerometer, through a piezoelectric sensor. This type of sensorDue to its construction material it allows to detect changes and pressure when emitting an electric charge. - Photoelectric sensors, these are the sensors that use photoelectric rays, normally a transmitter and a receiver are used, they are commonly used in automatic door systems, elevator doors, production chains, etc.
- The ultrasonic sensors are those that emit an acoustic signalabout 30 kHz, a signal that is not appreciated by humans. This signal or wave propagates through space, walls, objects, doors, etc. once the signal has spread the sensor is activated and any change will trigger the sensor.
These types of sensors are also used in devices that require measuring distances and detecting objects. - Acoustic sensors, are those that can detect the signal emitted by anyobject and are able to detect the pressures that the acoustic waves emit, such as the noise of the crystals when breaking a window.
