UHF signal. - Ultra high frequency signal. In television it is defined to belong in the radio spectrum
between 470 MHz and 850 MHz.
Unbalanced signal. - In CCTV, this refers to a type of video signal transmission through a coaxial
cable. It is called unbalanced because the signal travels through the center core only, while the
cable shield is used for equating the two voltage potentials between the coaxial cable ends.
Underscan. - Decreases raster size H and V so that all four edges of the picture are visible on the
monitor.
UPS. - Uninterruptible power supply. These are power supplies used in the majority of high security
systems, whose purpose is to back-up the system for at least 10 minutes without mains power. The
duration of this depends on the size of the UPS, usually expressed in VA, and the current
consumption of the system itself.
UTP. - Unshielded twisted pair. A cable medium with one or more pairs of twisted insulated copper
conductors bound in a single sheath. Now the most common method of bringing telephone and
