When choosing SNTP/NTP Server for automatic date and time updating, you can key in the
IP address of the NTP server and the time interval for automatic time synchronization. If you
want to key in the domain name of NTP server instead, please make sure the DNS server IP
address has been set under IP Settings; otherwise the camera will not be able to resolve the
domain name of the NTP server.
If all the cameras are getting the date and time from the same NTP Server, you can be most
sure that the video clips from different cameras can be well synchronized later for comparison
purposes.
To choose the most suitable NTP Server to synchronize date and time with, please refer to
the worldwide pool of NTP Servers:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
When choosing Set Manually mode, you can adjust the date and time by the select boxes.
Choose the appropriate Time Zone from the select box, too. If your location is not listed there,
then pick any of the listed zones which GMT is identical with your location.
For the countries with daylight saving policy, there is Day Light Saving function with two
different types:
Type 1
–
define the starting or ending time of daylight saving period by the number of
the week in the month (First, Second, Third or Last week).
