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.

seconds after the last motion is detected.
