Step 2 Click the Device Name box and highlight the text.
Step 3 Type a user-friendly name into the Device Name box (2 to 64 characters). A user-friendly name makes
it easier to recognize the device on the network. Examples of user-friendly names are Front Door, Lobby,
or Parking Lot.

Configuring the Time Settings
If the camera is connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network that has time
server properties configured, the camera will synchronize automatically with the time server. If the
DHCP network’s time server properties are not configured or the network does not have a time server,
you need to configure the DHCP settings manually.
Click the System tab.
Step 1 Select General from the drop-down menu.
Step 2 Type the IP address of the time server in the Time Server field. The time server is an external server that
uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the camera date and time settings.
Step 3 Select the Time Zone option. Select the continent and the region that are closest to the camera’s location
from the Time Zone drop down menus.
Note If your location observes a form of daylight saving time, the system will automatically change
the time on the associated dates.
Step 4 Set the Overlay setting. Select On to overlay the date and time on the video stream, or select Off to turn
off this setting.
Step 5 Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you
entered without saving it.
