The following Videos will Demonstrate how your recording will look if you record at 1fps, 5fps, 15fps, and 30fps(real time) per camera.

The more frames per second (fps), the smoother the motion appears. Television, for example, is based on the NTSC format, which displays 30 interlaced frames per second (60 fields per second). In general, the minimum fps needed to avoid jerky motion is about 30
