Date & Time
Each video frame contains a time stamp. The accuracy of the time stamp is very important for
incident investigators. Therefore the clock of the device has to be adjusted to most accurate time
possible.
The
Date & Time
menu provides the options for adjusting
the date and time of the device.
There are two ways to adjust the date and time
–
automatically
by getting date and time
regularly from any of the
NTP servers
worldwide, or
manually
by selecting proper time zone,
date and time. The automatic way can be used only if the device has an access to NTP servers. If
you are using an isolated Local Area Network without Internet access, you can only use Manual
date and time adjustment mode.
When choosing
SNTP/NTP Server
for automatic date and time updating, you can key in the IP
address of the NTP server and the time interval for automatic time synchronization. If you want to
key in the domain name of NTP server instead, please make sure the DNS server IP address has
been set under IP Settings; otherwise the device will not be able to resolve the domain name of
the NTP server.
