mountianrider Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Evening My customer wants a 8 channel 8 tb cvi dvr with 1080p cameras. I calculated this at 18 days @ 12 FPS with 1080 Res. My question is, what is the minimum frame rate you would drop to? Would you notice a diff recording @ 720p? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwillis Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What's the point in fitting 1080p and then recording at 720? We usually setup a schedule or motion recording to increase the time Is drop the FPS to about 8 tho that should be high enough for most situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 As above dont drop the res. 6 fps is ok to, just depends on fast moving objects close to the camera. Quote I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 We have motion detect on with 5 fps with pre motion and 8 on full motion, the recorder is recording all the time but saves 10 secs pre motion @5fps and then jumps to 8fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountianrider Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Interesting so 6FPS is ok? Even though real time is 25? Why is there options for 60 FPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9651 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I try and aim for around 12ish Less is more noticeable to the eye Edited January 14, 2016 by 9651 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnealon Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I usually don't go below 6 fps, its more than enough. I know some installers who insist on going the full 25 fps, unless your making "movies" it makes no sense. Quote www.realsecurity.ie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrolhead Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 For me, normal, vbr, highest, 1296kbps max, 6fps Event(motion or pir) change to 12fps 3192kbps or 2048 depending on storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them mean fields per second not frames 25 frames is realtime. Women and Germans are impressed by big numbers so thats why manufacturers like to put high numbers on stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywalker Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 on external cameras we set to continuous recording with a FPS of 2-10, and bump it up to anywhere between 18 and 25 on motion with a 20s pre and 30-60s post. on internal cameras it depends on the scenario obviously but generally have them the same as external during business hours and set to record only on motion out of hours with a 20s pre and 30-60s post.

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 As a rule:- Best Quality possible. Limit the frame rate for your duration. Anything over 12fps is pointless IMO. The guide I use is 1-5fps scheduled and 6-12fps motion/alarm (if available), depending on storage time. Better to have 2 weeks of quality footage than 4 months of useless high fps rubbish.
