Minimum illumination: Minimum light level needed to achieve a 50% or 100% video output level when the camera is at maximum gain and the lens iris fully open. Can be computed from the nominal sensitivity, lens characteristics and maximum gain.

MOD (Minimum Object Distance): A lens parameter that defines the minimum distance from a camera lens to the point where an object can still be in focus.

MD (Motion Detector): Camera feature where a reference field is compared with current fields. If a difference is detected, the camera outputs a pulse. An ideal feature for security application.

MTF (Modulation Transfer Function): Defines the resolution capability of a lens. Most lenses exhibit their best MTF when operated in the middle of their iris aperture range.
