8.5 Configuring an NTP Server
A Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server may also be setup on your DVR to keep the date
and time current and accurate.
To setup an NTP server:
1.
Enter the Network Settings menu by clicking Menu > Setting > Network.
2.
Select the
Advanced
tab.
3.
Select the Set button next to
NTP
to enter the NTP settings menu, as shown below.
4.
Check the
NTP
checkbox to enable feature.
5.
Set NTP settings:
• Synchronize Every:
Time in minutes to synchronise with NTP server.
• NTP Server:
IP address of NTP server.
6.
Click OK to save and exit menu.
Note:
Time synchronisation interval has a range of 0-10080ms, normally 7200ms. If the
DVR is used on a public network, you should use an NTP server that has a time
synchronisation function, such as the server at the National Time Center (IP Address:
210.72.145.44). If the DVR is setup in a more customised network, NTP software can be
used to establish an NTP server used for time synchronisation.
8.6 Configuring a Remote Alarm Host
With a remote alarm host set, the DVR will send a signal to the host when an alarm is
triggered. The remote alarm host must have the Network Video Surveillance software
installed.
To set up a remote alarm host:
1.
Enter Network settings menu by clicking Menu > Setting > Network.
2.
Select the
Advanced
tab.
3.
Click the Set butt next to
Host/Others
to enter the Host/Others menu, as shown below.
