Ouch! Trying to think this through hertz!What about fps. I read somewhere on here that your fps should be divisible by your native resolution or something like that. NTSC 60/PAL 50. My current cameras were on 30fps because it can be divided into 60. I know I could have choose 20, 15, etc but I choose 30. Now with PAL should I not go above 25? If the statement above is true, my only choices are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 or 50.
The general FPS recommendation (if you're recording the video) is 10-15 FPS. That may seem low, but it's 10-15 "pictures" taken every second, which in most cases is more than enough when you go back to review recorded video. Higher FPS uses up more disk space, but doesn't usually give you any additional useful information.What about fps.

IIRC, you would have an issue if you were trying to directly connect analog "video out" from the camera directly to the back of your TV, but I haven't seen an IP camera that Andy sells that has a "video out" plug.Also what about live viewing and play back. I do both of these on my television, not a monitor. Will I have any issues with the cameras being PAL?
I have set all of my cameras for 10 fps vbs. When going back and looking at the video, yeah, it's a bit jittery. But like you say, it's a10 pictures taken every second.You can't even blink that fast. And it's surveillance video, not cinema. The chances of missing some important details are extremely minuscule. The lower frame rates give me longer retention on my NVR, and the couple of cameras I have on my network will use less bandwidth.The general FPS recommendation (if you're recording the video) is 10-15 FPS.
