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. From the menu toolbar, 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.
4. Check Enable DST to enable the DST (Daylight Savings Time) function, and set the
date of the DST period.
5. Click Save to save changes.
