3.7 Date and Time

Each video frame contains a time stamp. The accuracy of the time stamp is very important for incident
investigators. Therefore the clock of the camera has to be adjusted to the most accurate time possible.
The section Date & Time provides the options for adjusting the date and time of the camera.
There are two ways to adjust the date and time – automatically by getting date and time regularly
from any of the NTP servers worldwide, or manually by selecting proper time zone, date and time.
The automatic way can be used only if the camera has an access to NTP servers. If you are using an
isolated Local Area Network without Internet access, you can only use Manual date and time
adjustment mode.
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.
