here are 10 different models of x-vision cards, as well as a choice of camera capacity, they are
available with a choice of frame rates, these rates relate to the number of images that are
c
aptured per second. To record a camera in real time a frame rate of at least 25 fps is required.
T
he table below shows the number of images that will be recorded each second from each
camera depending by each model of card, and a comparison with a 24 hour Time Lapse Video

FPS Per Camera: Recommended Use:
Domestic premises and small business applications where it is the
1
to 6 fps movement of people rather than their activities that is being
m
onitored.
6 to 12 fps Medium to Large businesses, such as supermarkets, nightclubs,
bars, hotels, stockrooms etc...
12 to 25 fps For high risk and speed sensitive applications, such as production
l
ines, large commercial premises, jewellers, car parks etc...

T
he x-vision card has 3 different modes of operation for allocating frames to cameras:
M
otion Activated Automatic Frame Allocation:
I
n this mode the total frame rate of
the card is shared by the number of cameras being recorder. For example there may be 16
c
ameras connected to the system but only 5 of them have movement, in this mode the 5
a
ctive cameras will each share the maximum frame rate available.
P
riority Mode:
I
n this mode each camera can be given a low frame rate to record at
when there is no movement taking place, and a high frame rate to record at when there is
m
ovement. For example, if 16 cameras are connected they can be set to record at 1 fps
e
ach, then as a camera picks up movement it will be recorded at a total frame rate of 35
fps, if 2 or more cameras detect movement at the same time then the 35 fps will be
s
hared between them.
Fixed Recording: This is the most popular setting and allows you to set the number of
f
rames each camera will use during recording.
