Regular NTP client
: Regular NTP synchronization, according to the NTP standard. This is
compatible with all NTP servers and network configurations. Approx. one second accuracy
is guaranteed only.
Local network NTP client:
Works only if the camera and the NTP server is on the same
local network, but guarantees higher accuracy than the standard NTP client. Also places
a higher load on the NTP server.
The following parameters have to be set:
NTP server hostname/IP:
The address of the NTP server. (If the NTP server does not run on the
default port (123), specify the port in the following format: [hostname/ip]:[port].
Max. I/O time:
Maximal duration of a query-answer cycle between the camera and the NTP
server, before the answer is dropped. This influences the accuracy. Best practice is to set it to
10000 µs on a local network.
Log:
If it is enabled, the current state of synchronization can be monitored at the Maintenance
/ Camera log page.
To initiate an immediate synchronization to the NTP server, click the
button.
The camera has an internal battery feeding its Real Time Clock (RTC) while the camera is
powered off. In power down state the battery is able to provide power to the RTC for
approximately 2 weeks. It takes about 12 hours in power up state for the battery to completely
recharge.
