Will, Shakran's correct. The error isn't one of statistics. They're using the wrong information. We're not talking about camera rates but recording rates. Big difference, and it almost appears as willful ignorance in the quoted information. That they say "NTSA" instead of "NTSC" is telling.

Sure, camera rates are high but surveillance systems rarely capture at those rates for several reasons. To save tape or disk or because the capture system and/or network doesn't have the bandwidth to sustain its channels at full tilt. Systems often don't capture at all until something moves within their frame. In the case of a huge aircraft flashing through and exploding the camera would see everything but the recording system can miss everything but the explosion. We'd have to know the specific systems used to really nail this down.
