In Part 5 of this 7-Part series, ***Security Camera Functionality & Application***, Steve Pennington discusses what is meant by "images per second" or "frame rate" and recommended best practices given certain applications.

It's important to note that certain applications demand higher or lower images per second to be recorded. Also, be sure to consider the capability of the camera, storage requirements, light levels, speed of objects moving, and more. Check out the advice that Steve provided in the video below.
