6.7.4 Date & Time
The camera is configured to use NTP by default, but you
must set the time zone and Daylight Savings Time settings
to ensure accurate time. After a power failure, the camera
is configured to connect to an NTP server and automatically
update the time when power is restored. If using another
method to set the camera clock, time must be manually
updated after a power failure.
To set the camera’s date and time using an NTP server:
1. Click Device Configuration>Date & Time.
2. Under Time Zone, select your time zone.
3. If your region observes daylight savings time, check Adjust clock for
daylight saving changes.
• Under Start and End, select the start and end times for daylight savings.
4. Next to Current PC Time, click Apply.
To sync the camera’s date and time to your computer’s system time:
1. Click Device Configuration>Date & Time.
2. Un-check Enable NTP and click Apply at the bottom of the screen.
3. Under Time Zone, select your time zone.
4. If your region observes daylight savings time, check Adjust clock for
daylight saving changes.
• Under Start and End, select the start and end times for daylight savings.
5. Click Apply next to Current Computer Time. The Current Device Time
updates.
The Date & Time page allows you to configure the camera’s date and time.
