System Options

There are different system options that can be configured in the Setup pages, e.g. date &
time, network settings and upgrading the firmware in the AXIS 262. This section describes
the options not covered elsewhere in this manual.
Date & Time
The date and time is displayed when viewing recorded or live video (right-click on an
image and select Show Date/Time to make it visible if it is not shown). The time and date
are saved along with the image and it is important that the date and time are set accurately
when you want to find a recording at a later time.
You can manually set the date and time used for the AXIS 262 or specify a Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server to automatically update the time. You can also enter the time zone
and the date format displayed on recorded images.
Note:
Changing the time zone will cause the AXIS 262 to restart, and recording will be stopped during this time
(maximum 10 minutes).
To set the time in the AXIS 262:
1. Click
2. Select the Set manually radio button if you want the time to be updated
manually or select the Synchronize with NTP server radio button to synchronize
the time automatically with an NTP server.
3. Enter the current date and time if the time is updated manually.
4. If using automatic update, enter the IP address of the NTP server and how often
to synchronize the time with the NTP server.
5. Click Save.
6. Select the time zone you are in. When there is more than one option available
select the list item with cities that have similar daylight savings. The time will
automatically adjust for daylight savings and correct the time difference when
using an NTP server.
7. Click Save.
