FPS, or frames per second, is a measure of how many images a display, camera, or video stream processes each second. In simple terms, higher FPS means smoother motion and finer time detail, while lower FPS can make movement look choppy or skip fast events. In e-paper and other display systems, FPS is a practical way to describe how fast the hardware can refresh content.
In cyber security, FPS matters anywhere visual data is captured or analyzed: surveillance systems, screen recording, incident response tooling, and computer vision defenses all depend on enough frame rate to preserve important details. A low-FPS feed may miss short-lived actions, while a higher-FPS feed can improve forensic review and motion detection. Attackers may try to exploit weak frame rates by hiding activity between frames or overwhelming a camera and its analysis pipeline, so defenders often tune FPS alongside resolution, storage, and detection thresholds.
