How to record Slow Motion video in higher FPS (240 or 960 fps) in openCV

Python

Hello,

How to record video in slow motion with higher (240 or 960) fps?
I have tried using VideoWriter shown below and when video properties is checked it only shows fps is 960 but it does not seem 960 frames in 1 second. I am trying to record a running fan.

cv2.VideoWriter(‘filename.avi’,
cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*‘mp4v’),
960, size)

Second option:
I have also tried to set cv2.waitKey(milliseconds) but this method also does not work.

Camera used:
I am using webcam Kreo owl, click here for more details

Alternate cross-check:
I also tried to record the same from an Android mobile with 960 fps and it really works.

Let me know if I am doing any thing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Neeraj Dhekale

As the camera can only do 60 fps, it is obviously impossible to record with it at 240 or 960 fps…
