Outdoor camera low FPS?

I am considering getting the new ADC-V722W once my 3g receiver comes in to get up and running with surety. I having trouble finding out the FPS. I’ve found some info that its only 2 - 5 FPS. Can that be right? I would think a minimum of 20 -30 FPS would be acceptable for smooth playback. So can the FPS be changed on a setting? How can a janky video at 5 FPS be useful?

Looks like this question is related to the one here.

5FPS for saved surveillance video is normal.

You should always err on the side of highest quality, highest resolution, and lower FPS for general video storage in a surveillance application.

Generally only things like register cameras/retail cameras need to record at high FPS.
