What is fps (Frames per second)?
Frames per second (FPS) is the number of “snapshots” of the video scene in one second. Recall that motion pictures are 24 FPS, and NTSC and PAL television 30 FPS (although really 60 interlaced FPS). Video surveillance cameras can be configured for a range of FPS. Generally surveillance can be few FPS that “quality video” as situation assessment is the primary application. Storage costs are directly correlated to FPS as well. In many cases, 10 FPS is sufficient.
