Is frame rate important for 24/7 monitoring and surveillance

Is frame rate important for 24/7 monitoring and surveillance

Looking at all these IP cameras and VMS software and finding out that because of either network bandwidth or storage capacity or both, frame rate is frequently capped at 7.5 or 10 or 15 fps, I sometimes wonder:
1) Does frame rate really matter.... Who really needs 30 fps full time 24/7?
2) What about operators used to analog CCTV. What is their perception when their console is converted to IP and now they monitor video at half the frame rate they did before
3) What are the benefit of full frame rate video for, and who is ready to pay for it? .... City surveillance, port authority, airports, casinos, prisons?????
