2.1.1 Synchronize Clocks
In order for the video clips to match up with Doors events, the clocks on the access control network and
the video server must be synchronized. Once the Video Server information has been saved, a clock
Synchronization window will appear (see Figure 15-7).
Figure 15-7: Automatic Clock Synchronization
1. Click on the button to sync the clocks. A Two confirmation windows will appear (see
Figure 15-8).
Figure 15-8: Network and Video Server Date and Time Synchronization Confirmation Windows
2. Click on the button for each window to synchronize the clocks.
NOTE: The time sync will be based on the Doors PC clock and will not take into account different time
zones.
NOTE: A synchronization reminder will appear every 24 hours, unless one of the following instances
occur:
• If the Doors PC clock gets set to a date and time prior to the saved clock sync date and time, a
reminder to sync the clocks of the access control network and the video server will appear
within 60 seconds.
• If the Doors PC clock is set to a date and time that is 24 hours or more after the saved clock
sync date and time, a reminder to sync the clocks of the access control network and the video
server will appear within 60 seconds.
• If Doors is in Monitor mode when a clock sync needs to take place, the clock sync will occur
automatically without any input from the operator. If Doors has more than one site and a site
other than the one associated with the video server is being monitored (Site #2), when the sync
time arrives monitor mode will be suspended. Doors will temporarily disconnect from Site #2,
connect to Site #1 (the one associated with the video server) and sync the clocks. Once that has
completed, Doors will disconnect from Site #1, re-connect with Site #2 and resume monitoring.
All this is done without any input from the operator, however messages will appear explaining
what is taking place.
3. To synchronize the clocks on demand, click on the button and repeat steps 1 and 2.
