Choosing the right frame rate for your camera system is key to optimising performance and maximising value. The purpose of each camera, storage capacity, operating costs, and desired image resolution all play an important role in determining which frame rates are best for getting the most from your CCTV system, and how your chosen frame rates correspond with bandwidth, storage costs and video retention time in your system. In short, the choices you make about which frame rate to choose for each of your cameras, can have a significant effect on both your costs, and the efficacy of your system when it is needed.
Our explainer video below helps simplify the decision process by covering how different frame rates serve different purposes, their pros and cons, and why opting for a high frame rate may not be the best choice.
