local time. If present, select

options, otherwise select

NTP

4 Set the Time Source Type setting to either

UTC

or Local to reflect which time zone the

selected Time Source is using.

5 If you selected Local as the Time Source Type, you must set the UTC Offsets so the card

can internally convert the time to UTC. In the Time Zone section, set the UTC Offset
sign, UTC Offset Hours, and UTC Offset Minutes to specify the difference between
Local and UTC time when Daylight Saving Time is not in effect.

6 If you selected Local as the Time Source Type, you must also set the Daylight Savings

settings so the card can make the appropriate adjustments when the time changes. In
the Daylight Saving section, specify the daylight saving time settings for the local time
zone:

• Click Enable.

• To configure when Daylight Saving Time begins, click the week of the month in the

Daylight Start Day list, click the day of the week in the Week Day list, click the
month in the Month list, and specify the time when the clocks move forward by
typing the hour in the HH field and the minutes in the MM field.

• To configure when Daylight Saving Time ends, click the week of the month in the

Daylight Stop Day list, click the day of the week in the Week Day list, click the

IMPORTANT

It is recommended that you use one of the other time sources instead of NTP

video clock, which means it will likely require continuous time
synchronization to keep the NTP and video clock in sync.
