This requirement definition serves as a reference base for all subsequent sections of the guide. An overview of available video technology and a summary of tape formats are presented. Technical parameters that most influence operational performance are detailed. In addition, guidance is provided on the application of specific types of video equipment to meet functional requirements. The latest advancements in video technology and effects of these advances on surveillance work are described. Appendixes offer detailed experimental methods and results that are summarized in the main text to assist advanced users in determining what tests are appropriate when evaluating new equipment for use in their application environments. 11 tables and 19 figures
