Installation and Operation Manual 35 The MV16i detects recorded alarm events by monitoring the VIS information returned from tape. Each field of recorded video is encoded with alarm status information, camera number, camera title, time and date. The MV16i uses this information to identify camera related alarm events. The MV16i must be in Tape mode [...]

36 MV16i Multivision Plus Video Motion Detection The MV16i detects changes in camera video (motion) at any con- nected camera inputs. It responds to motion by increasing the rate at which that camera is recorded and displayed. The goal of motion detection is to prioritize cameras for display and recording. The MV16i gives priority to motion ?[...]

Installation and Operation Manual 37 Motion Sequencing When no motion is detected, the MV16i samples cameras in cam- era number order. Each time through the sequence, the VCR and the display receive one video field from each camera.
