*Tips:

• 30 frames per second is real time. At 3 - 5 frames per second recording youwill not miss any activity
  (remember this is per second)
• There is no real need to record in real time unless there are regulatory reasons as in case of government
  facilities or casinos
• Traditional analog systems record at 1 frame per second
