Controlled Full Frame Rate in Surveillance Cameras

This white paper discusses controlled full frame rate in surveillance cameras, outlining its importance in scenarios requiring high image quality, such as cash handling in banks and casinos. It explains how to configure Axis cameras to achieve a set frame rate, specifically 25 or 30 frames per second (fps), while maintaining image quality. The document details the necessary system performance, including sufficient server capacity and fast processing capabilities across the network to preserve frame rates from the camera to the video management system (VMS). It also addresses the trade-offs between performance and camera features, providing recommendations for settings that prioritize full frame rate. Additionally, it highlights that full frame rate cannot be guaranteed due to various factors affecting camera performance and system limitations. The paper concludes with a note on the implications of using different camera features and settings on frame rate and image quality.
