System time
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of
network devices, such as IP cameras and computers. Connecting network
devices to a dedicated NTP time server ensures that they are all synchronized.
To define the system time and date:
1. In the System folder, click the Time Settings (1) tab to open its window.
2. From the Time Zone drop-down menu (2), select the time zone that is the
closest to the camera’s location.
3. Under Time Sync (3), check one of the options for setting the time and date:
NTP: Check the NTP enable box and enter the server NTP address to
synchronize with an NTP server. The time interval can be set from 1 to 10080
minutes.
- Or -
Manual Time Sync.: Enable the Manual Time Sync function and then click
to set the system time from the pop-up calendar.
Note: You can also check the Sync with computer time checkbox to
synchronize the time of the camera with the time of your computer.
4. Check Enable DST (4) to enable the DST function, and set the date of the
DST period.
5. Click Save to save changes.
