How many frames per second can it record?
2030290
60fps at 1080P, but make sure you use a class 10 memory card or else you will drop frames.
2030291
It is capable of recording at 24 fps and 30 fps for regular MP4 files for regular DVDs. It can also record at the above mentioned 60 fps, but will need to be transferred to Blu Ray DVD if that is your intention.

It's capable of 1080p at 60 frames per second, that's as good as it gets for hidef video. Just make sure to use a SD card rated at class 10 so no dropped frames.

What options does this camera have in regard to recording time (1 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute clips or other?)

You can set a specific time to record in 15, 30, 1 hour file. you can also do a manual recording, not sure if it will overwrite when its full or stop recording.

Good question, I had to try it to find out. The max for all 16 cameras simultaneously, using 960H resolution, is 15fps. If you want 30fps, you can only do it on 8 cameras with the remaining ones set to no recording. You can also set 7 cameras to 30fps and split the remaining 30 frames among the rest. Bottom line is 240fps max for the system divided up however you want in 1fps increments. I couldn't test it at lower than 960H because it requires a reload. Maybe at a lower setting you would get more total fps but I don't know. Also, I use 2fps continuous on each of the 16 cameras (32fps total) and it records about 2 weeks on a 1TB hard drive. Hope this helps. Good question, I had to try it to find out. The max for all 16 cameras simultaneously, using 960H resolution, is 15fps.

I have never been able to get the camera to record more than a few seconds of video. I have not taken the time to figure it out. I think that I should not HAVE to figure it out. You put in an SD card, you record, you replay, you're happy! Not this one.

I am not sure - I have a 32 GB in mine and it takes a long time for it to start recording over the oldest frames. The Customer Service Rep's at Sharx Security are the greatest and is in the US. Send them an email and they will give you a call back and spend as much time as needed to get your camera up and running.

Not sure, you may have to set the recording size to the smallest format: 30fps,

yes, it can only record for 10 minutes at a time, it's in the manual. So you have to break it up into 10 minute segments.

Hi, no it can record only in time lapse mode, means speeding up the motion, not slowing down.

Looks like the QS-558-852-1 provides a better recording video. That is based on the specs that say this DVR wil record about 8 frames/sec and yours might record at 30 frames/sec. 8-FPS is good enough for me. I need more channels or cameras rather than more frames/sec. REF: http://www.amazon.com/QS558-852-1-Channel-Security-Surveillance-High-Resolution/dp/B009HPBPOY

I think it is only 30 frames a second. But it is really a good camera for the money. I have two of them and may get two more.

You can select single frame or two continuous speeds: Seven frames in a little over a second or one frame per second for thirty seconds.

No. It's response time is fast enough for action photos but not for high speed motion capture.

Hi Kevin, it does not. The camera can record only up to 60fps. Thanks_Mitch

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

I have recorded video in excess of 45 minutes... all depends on your memory card and its limitations. I use a 32 gig card with this camera.

It will do 400/sec, but it reduces the frame size to almost a thumbnail. It does a really good job at 60 and 120 frames/sec with strong ambient light, but it still reduces the frame size. Overall, I think it is well worth the price. You can see a lot of detail at 120 fps.
