If the camera uses the MJPEG video format

With MJPEG, you can define frame rates for regular as well as speedup modes. If the camera offers dual stream, you can also enable this.

Note that there are three places where you can set frame rate:

Live Frame Rate - used for the regular recording stream
Live Frame Rate - used when speeding up recordings in connection with motion detection or similar functionality.
FPS (Frames per second) - used for the additional stream used for live viewing.

Regular frame rate mode:

Frame Rate

Required average frame rate for video from the camera. Select the number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second, minute or hour).

Live Frame Rate

Required average frame rate for live video from the camera. Select the number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second, minute or hour).

If the camera supports dual stream and dual stream is enabled, the Live Frame Rate column will be read-only with the value Dual streaming—which cannot be altered.

Recording Frame Rate

Required average frame rate for recorded video from the camera. Select the number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second, minute or hour). The frame rate must be higher than the frame rate specified under normal mode.

Speedup frame rate mode:

Enable speedup frame rate	The speedup feature lets you use a higher than normal frame rate if motion is detected and/or an event occurs. When you enable speedup, further columns for specifying speedup details become available.
Frame Rate	Speedup frame rate for viewing video from the camera. Select the number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second, minute or hour). The frame rate must be higher than the frame rate specified under normal mode.
On motion	Select this check box to use the speedup frame rates when motion is detected. The camera will return to the normal frame rates two seconds after the last motion is detected.
On event	Select this check box to use the speedup frame rates when an event occurs and until another event occurs. Use of speedup on event requires that events have been defined, and that you select start and stop events in the neighboring lists. Use the Configure events list located below the other fields to define events that suit your needs.
Start Event	Select required start event. The camera will begin using the speedup frame rates when the start event occurs.
Stop Event	Select required stop event. The camera will return to the normal frame rates when the stop event occurs.
Live Frame Rate	Required average frame rate for live video from the camera. Select the number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second, minute or hour). The frame rate must be higher than the frame rate specified under normal mode. If the camera supports dual stream and dual stream is enabled, the Live Frame Rate column will be read-only with the value Dual streaming—which cannot be altered.
Recording Frame Rate	Required average frame rate for recorded video from the camera. Select the number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second, minute or hour). The frame rate must be higher than the frame rate specified under normal mode.

You do not have to base speedup on motion or events. You can also use scheduling to configure speedup based on particular periods of time. If you prefer time-based speedup, you should still enable the use of speedup by selecting the Enable speedup check box.

Dual stream:

Enable dedicated live stream	This additional stream feature lets you use the alternative stream of the camera. It enables two independent streams to the recording server—a stream for live viewing and another stream for recording purposes, with different resolution, encoding, and frame rate.
Stream	Select the type of the live stream. Stream settings for viewing live video and for recording video may very well be different in order to get the best result.
Resolution	Select the camera's resolution.
FPS	Select the camera's live frame rate per second (FPS)

Important: This feature is only available on cameras supporting dual stream.
