Want to compare 30fps vs 8fps security camera recording at 4K resolution? In this video, Mike Haldas, co-founder of CCTV Camera Pros, puts them side by side so you can see a comparison for yourself. The frame rate question matters most when you're deciding between two Viewtron security camera systems: a Viewtron Hybrid BNC DVR with 4K coax cameras (limited to 8fps at 4K resolution), or a Viewtron IP camera NVR with 4K IP cameras (full 30fps at 4K). https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Viewtron-Video-Surveillance-DVR-s/654.htm

In the video, you'll see a side-by-side comparison of 8fps vs 30fps recording, followed by full-screen views of each frame rate. Mike Haldas waves his hand, does jumping jacks, and jogs across the screen to show how each frame rate handles motion. The resolution is identical in both clips — it's 4K either way. The difference shows up when objects are moving fast. As you'll see, 8 frames per second is still outstanding video quality, but the 30fps recording is noticeably smoother on motion-heavy shots.

Frame rate is one important factor — not the only one — when deciding between a Viewtron Hybrid BNC DVR and a Viewtron IP camera NVR. Hybrid DVRs let you reuse your existing coaxial cable, which is the easier upgrade path if you already have a coax-based security camera system. Viewtron IP camera NVRs require running CAT5e or CAT6 network cable to each camera, but support the full 30fps recording at 4K resolution and include built-in PoE ports.

For this test, Mike used a Viewtron AI dome IP camera connected to a Viewtron NVR. https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/AI-security-camera-p/ip-a8d.htm https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/IP-Camera-NVRs-s/1472.htm
