To set the time zone for the ROVE R2-4K in New York, follow these steps:

1. Go to System Settings > Date/Time.
2. Choose either manual time zone setup or GMT setup based on GPS signal.
3. If setting manually, select Eastern Time Zone (GMT -5:00) when Daylight Savings Time is not active (November - March) or GMT -4:00 during Daylight Savings Time (March - November).
4. If using GPS-based time, the camera will automatically adjust once it locks onto the GPS signal.

This will ensure the correct time zone for New York.
