Common Misconceptions about Frame Rate for Security Cameras (testing 3 / 8 / 12 / 20 and 30 fps)

Perfect explanation of framerate and shutter speed. This is the best example that I've seen by far! I would've appreciated a little bit more detail into the comparison of shutter speeds alongside the separate framerates too. Knowing how 1/1000th of a second looks at all framerates, plus something a lot slower like 1/50th or 1/100th with the framerates. Good video!

That makes sense. Each frame is just a snapshot, or still image. When the images are shown in sequence, the more images per second (frames per second) give a smoother video. But the frames, given the same shutter speed and aperture, should be the same in all examples. I found your chart interesting. 20 fps actually uses slightly more storage than 30 fps. And 12 fps used even more storage. Is that because the camera is capable of storing just the pixel differences between frames? If so, that would explain it, as the slower frame rate would have more pixel differences from one frame to the next.
