Why Set a Date & Time?
It's important to set the proper date and time before continuing so that you can easily locate recorded events.
Inaccurate dates and times on files may affect their admissibility as evidence in court. In addition, when
changing current time settings, to avoid possible confusion with the time stamps on recorded and currently
recording files, stop all ongoing recording processes before altering the system time and restart recording
using the new settings.
