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. Click Configuration > System > Time Settings.
2. From the Time Zone drop-down menu, select the time zone that is the
closest to the camera’s location.
3. Under Time Sync, check one of the options for setting the time and date:
Synchronize with an NTP server: Check the NTP enable box and enter the
server NTP address. The time interval can be set from 1 to 10080 minutes.
- Or -
Set manually: 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.
