the NVR to the correct date and time before making changes in other menus.
Setting the correct date and time before proceeding is essential to maintaining the integrity
of your video records - especially for purposes of evidence. Making these straightforward
settings should be your first priority before proceeding further within this manual. Changing the
date and time after important videos have been recorded could result in the loss of those files.
Most of the options within this menu are
self-explanatory. If you are unsure of your
time zone, the date and time settings on
your computer or searching online for "Time
Zones" will quickly provide you with the
information you need.

Please see the Remote Monitoring

DST Tab
This setting allows your system to adjust for time changes due to Daylight Savings Time. As of
this writing, Daylight Savings Time begins in most areas of North America on the 2nd Sunday
in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Both changeovers happen at 2 am.
Allowing the NVR to make the change automatically ensures that files will not be lost as could
happen by manually changing the hour.
Checking the box marked Daylight Saving
Time will enable the NVR to switch the hour
automatically.
The starting and ending periods must be
set using the pull down options along with
entering the hour manually. The Week radio
button should be selected for this method.
If your region switches to and from DST on
a specific date, then chose the Date radio
button and enter the needed information.
Click Apply to save your settings and Exit to
close the menu.
