itGeeks 187 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Security of any kind is an interesting topic. I am always looking for ways to better protect my family & properties and refine what I am already using. I have a huge interest in surveillance and I am always second guessing how I have things setup for friends and family. As the title says "Is a High Frame-rate Always a Must for Effective Video Surveillance?" The short answer is it depends on the scene your monitoring, This is a great short article on the subject. The shorter take is the human eye perceives real-time as 15 fps so should we be viewing & recording everything @30 fps? In most case as I understand it no, Your just wasting band-width and storage. 1) What is your take on the subject? 2) Is your IP cameras multi-stream? 3) Do you view live in a lower resolution and record in a higher resolution? (I only use cameras that support multi-stream) 4) If so whats your settings? ex: what resolution and frame rate do you use for live view vs recording for everyday normal traffic scenes??

Trig0r 210 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 High frame rate isnt really a must, as you say, depends on scene. Cameras are either 2 or 3 streams. Live view usually in D1@half FPS of main stream Depending on where the camera is going, generally, motion detect, 720p (4mp cameras), 12fps, vbr, ~1500kb/s,or constant record, still 720p, 6fps vbr ~1500. I do have some sites with 5mp fisheyes, 8mp 4k, mickies, 960h's... Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I’m running all my 1080p cameras at 15 FPS. Continuous recording. Motion detection only on exterior cameras. Link to post Share on other sites
