Public-View Monitor (PVM) Architecture
PVM displays a live camera feed on a monitor visible to anyone in the camera’s coverage zone — creating a visible deterrent (you can see yourself being recorded) effective at reducing retail shoplifting and similar crime. The M4216-V’s HDMI output drives the monitor directly without a separate streaming feeder device.
