Network Time Protocol Setup
Network Time Protocol Setup allows you to have the recorder synchronize time with a network time
server.
Note A time zone must be selected to enable this option (via the SYSTEM menu).
Note A network connection is required to connect to a NTP server; and an internet connection is
required if you plan to connect to a public NTP server.
NTP Server
NTP Server allows you to enter the NTP server you want to connect and synchronize with. This can be
a local area network server (as long as the time server service is running on it); or a public time server.
We recommend using nist.time.gov; or you can do an internet search for “public NTP servers” to find
an alternate.
Automatically Time Sync
Automatically Time Sync allows you to enable or disable automatic time synchronization; time sync will
occur once per hour when enabled.
Manually Time Sync
Manually Time Sync allows you to perform an immediate one-time synchronization.
DDNS Setup
DDNS Setup allows you to configure a static name to correspond to your dynamic public IP address
using the Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS).
Enable DDNS
Enable DDNS allows you to enable or disable the DDNS function, and options.
Host Name
Host Name displays the recorder’s assigned host name which corresponds to the DDNS address used
to connect to the recorder.
DDNS Port
DDNS Port allows you to specify the web connect port; this could match the port configured under IP
Advanced.
Submit/Update
Submit/Update allows you to force a send to the DDNS server to update the dynamic IP address that
corresponds to the DDNS address used to connect to the recorder.
