Device Name
To change the Device Name, follow these steps:
1. Click the Device Name box and highlight the text.
2. 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.
3. Click Save to save the new device name, or click Reset to restore to the previously saved device name.
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 time settings manually.
1. 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.
