Estimated Storage:

1 frame per second is the lowest frame rate recordable and 30 frames per second is the maximum which is real time
There is no real need to record in real time unless there are regulatory reasons as in case of government facilities or casinos
Recording at 1 frame per second is what traditional analog systems record
At 3 - 5 frames per second recording you will not miss any activity (remember this is per second)
