6.2 – Alias Settings
The default alias is anonymous. You can change the name of your camera to anything you would like with
a few exceptions. You cannot use some special characters like “/, :/ *, ?, “, <, >, or |.” If you use these
characters the camera will not be able to create a recording file.
Usually it is a good idea to name each camera based on the location you are setting the camera in,
especially if you have multiple cameras. Click Submit to save changes. Some examples are Kitchen
Cam, Baby Cam, etc.
6.3 – Date & Time Settings
Here you can choose the time zone of your country. You can choose Sync with NTP Server or Sync
with PC Time. Usually syncing with the PC time is the best option to choose. If your country is
implementing Daylight Savings Time, such as in the US, you can set it for your camera here.
