automatic method for date/time adjustment. The IP Camera must be
able to gain access to the given NTP server (e.g. time.windows.com), which is usually the ability of

To apply “synchronize with NTP Server”, a
Time Zone
must be selected for referencing to the
local time.
Synchronize with PC:
The PC connected to the IP camera can also be a date/time synchronizer.
However, if the PC is connecting from a
time zone
different from where camera is installed, the
system will pop up a warning message for time zone differential.
Set Manually:
