of the fact that this option sets the time only one time. From that point forward, the
camera time will start to differ from your PC time as time progresses, and occasional
re-synchronization will be necessary.
Manual Setting- Lets you manually enter the time and date. As with the previous
option, the camera’s time will become inaccurate as time passes and you will need to
re-synchronize the time periodically.
Synchronize with NTP- This option is the recommended setting. In this mode, the
camera will synchronize its time settings based on the interval setting (ranging from
once per hour to once per day). The camera obtains the time from the NTP server. You
can use the default value unless your camera is not connected to the Internet, or if a
firewall in your network blocks the outgoing NTP request of the camera. Select “Manual”
and you can enter a different NTP server; e.g., a server in your local network.
Time zone:
Time zone- Select the correct time zone for your location.
Daylight Saving Time- You can define the range of Daylight Saving Time by activating
this option. The camera will adjust the time (move the clock forward or backward by one
hour) depending on the programmed start and end time. If your camera is not equipped
with this feature, you can adjust the time zone manually for Daylight Saving Time.
