fl ickers and the symbol S displays to show that all channels are recording as scheduled.
Setting the system time is very important for the validity of your recorded data. The date and time

on all monitor displays and on all timestamps for events.

1. Select the Time option from the Quick Set menu.
2. Enter the time zone for the camera location. (The default setting is UTC 00:00 Dublin.)
3. Set Daylight Savings to on or off. (The Daylight Savings option is only available if daylight
saving time is used in the time zone you selected.)
4. Select the Date Format you prefer.
- Formats are YYYY/MM/DD or MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY.
5. Set the Time by entering data in each of the Date fi elds and in the Hour/Minutes/ Seconds
fi elds.
6. When a confi rmation message displays, select “Apply” to change the new Date/Time settings.
· When the confi rmation message appears, select Yes if you want to confi rm your changes to
the date/time setting.
