CCTV FPS and Bitrate Explained

Understand frame rate and bitrate and how they affect motion detail, storage and network traffic.

FPS

Frames per second affects motion smoothness and captured motion detail. Higher FPS increases processing and data requirements.

Bitrate

Configured bitrate is a practical planning value for storage and network capacity. Scene complexity also changes actual usage.

Choose for the scene

Vehicle gates, roads and production areas may need different settings from quiet indoor areas.

Plan the whole system

Check NVR incoming bandwidth, storage retention, switch uplinks and remote-view requirements.
