Device Name

Change the Device Name by following steps:

1. Click the Device Name box and highlight the text.

2. Type a user-friendly name into the Device Name box (2 to 64 characters). A user-friendly name makes it easier to

recognize the device on the network. Examples of user-friendly names are Front Door, Lobby, or Parking Lot.

3. Click Save to save the new device name, or click Reset to restore to the previously saved device name.

Time Settings

If the camera is connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network that has time server properties

configured, the camera will synchronize automatically with the time server. If the DHCP network’s time server properties are

not configured or the network does not have a time server, you need to configure the time settings manually.

1. Type the IP address of the time server in the Time Server field. The time server is an external server that uses

Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the camera date and time settings.

2. Select the Time Zone option. Select the continent and the region that are closest to the camera’s location from the

Time Zone drop-down menus.

NOTE: If your location observes a form of daylight saving time, the system will automatically change the time on

the associated dates.
