FPS at night question

Recommended Posts

In a situation where I want to monitor/record cars going down the street in front of my house (No LPR), what FPS is recommended? The IP cam will be 5 feet away from street with an IR illuminator a few feet above said camera. I was going to use a 6mm lens cam for a tight high quality pic of just the road and cars. I have no idea what FPS cams do best with at night when there are moving cars and people in the road.

I think you are mistaking frame rate as frames per second and shutter speed or exposure. Shutter speed for night vision would be typically 1/30 to 1/3 depending ambient light. However reading plates you would need fps of 30 and alot of ir light with shorter exposure time aprox 1/250.
