Configuring Time Sync by NTP Server
A Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server can be configured on your device to ensure the accuracy of system
date/time.
If the device is connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network that has time server
properties configured, the camera will synchronize automatically with the time server.
Enable the
NTP
function by checking the checkbox, and configure the following settings:
NTP Server:
IP address of NTP server.
NTP Port:
Port of NTP server.
Interval:
The time interval between the two synchronizing actions with NTP server. It can be set from 1 to 10080
minutes.

Time Sync by NTP Server
If the device is connected to a public network, you should use a NTP server that has a time synchronization
function, such as the server at the National Time Center (IP Address: 210.72.145.44). If the device is set up in a
more customized network, NTP software can be used to establish a NTP server used for time synchronization.
Configuring Time Synchronization by Manually
Enable the
Manual Time Sync
function and then click the
icon to set the system time from the pop-up
calendar. You can click the
icon to quickly select the time.
