Obviously it is not. In fact it is running at a rate below the average CCTV camera that one would expect to find anywhere else in the world.
I think that that would depend on the purpose of the camera. Certainly I've seen equally jerky footage from CCTV cameras.
If the point of the camera is to monitor cars coming into the base - which it does seem to be - then a lower frame rate might be acceptable (and appears to be adequate from the footage seen).
And let's not forget storage requirements.
More to the point, the plane does seem to be visible on one frame, although blurred by speed and out of focus and I can't see any reason to expect it to be more visible than it is on this footage. Simple incredulity that the video system might be the way that it seems to be doesn't really negate the fact that it shows pretty much all we should expect it to show.

Edit Yes it is ten yrs later but still, one is the pentagon and the other is a loading dock down by the river.
I can't see anything about the source of the video other than it was released by the Mayor's office.
Storage capacity has increased quite dramatically in that time, so a higher frame rate is much easier to support. And that's just dealing with the knowns - there could easily be unknown factors.
