Setup Wizard: System Time

NTP
NTP stands for "Network Time Protocol". It's a way for the NVR to connect to the Internet and automatically update and maintain
accurate time. There's no requirement to use NTP, but it's easy to setup and free to use, so there's really no reason not to.
NTP Server: The server you'd like to use for NTP. They're all quite comparable in terms of reliability and accuracy, so unless
you've got some kind of master plan for world domination (which is affected by the time, for some reason) then the default (pool.
ntp.org) works fine.
NTP Port: The default is 123. You should only change this if you're using a different NTP server, and you know they use a different
port. If you're using pool.ntp.org, ensure the port is 123.
Sync: Triggers the NVR to automatically synchronize its internal clock with the time server immediately. If your NVR is
connected to the Internet and the network is correctly configured, this will update almost instantly.
System Time: The NVR's current date and time.
DST Configuration
If your time zone observes daylight saving time and you want your NVR's clock to be updated automatically when daylight saving
time starts and ends, make sure the Enable checkbox is selected.
Note: Make sure your time offset is set correctly or both your NVRs normal time and DST time may be out.
Offset: The amount by which the time changes during DST. For the vast majority of locations, the offset is one hour, but
exceptions to this rule exist.
Start Time / End Time: When DST begins and ends in your locale.
