Periodic Time Synchronization with a MOBOTIX camera on the Local Network
Using the MOBOTIX Camera as a Time Server for Other Cameras
• Activate the NTP time server feature of the MOBOTIX camera (
NTP (RFC 1305)
option).
• Enter the IP address 127.127.1.0 in one of the Time Server fields of the
MOBOTIX time server camera.
• Activate the Adjust periodically checkbox. This will start the camera's NTP
service (client and time server).
• This camera can now work as a time server for other MOBOTIX cameras.
Note: You should enter at least one "real" NTP time server so that the "time
server" camera can synchronize its clock with the external time server.
• Click on the view link to see the output of the camera's NTP client. The infor-
mation is displayed in different colors: If the time server can be reached, the
NTP client output is amber; if the camera clock is synchronized, it is green.
Note that synchronizing with NTP can take quite some time, sometimes up to
30 minutes (this is also true when rebooting or after clicking the Set button).
