Setting Time on the Camera
When Avigilon cameras are connected to the Avigilon Control Center, the cameras always keep time through
the software. If a camera is connected to a different network video management software or is recording to
itself, the camera keeps time through a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
By default, the camera automatically uses DHCP to find an NTP server that is available on the network. If there
are no NTP servers in your network, you can manually set the camera to use a specific NTP server.
1. In the mobile web interface, tap the top-left menu icon then select
Network
.
2. On the Network page, tap the
GENERAL
tab.
3. Tap the
Configure NTP from DHCP
switch to disable the camera from automatically looking for an NTP
server through DHCP.
