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.
1. Click the System tab.
2. Select General Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. 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.
4. 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.
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.
