Synchronize with an Internet time server automatically
You can enable this option to update the date and time of the system automatically
with specified NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. Enter the IP address or domain
name of the NTP server, e.g. time.nist.gov, time.windows.com. Then enter the
time interval for adjusting the time.
The VioStor can be used by the network cameras or other servers as an NTP server.
To ensure the date and time of the network cameras are synchronized with this
server, please set up all the network cameras by entering the IP address of the
VioStor as their NTP server.
Note: The first time you enable NTP server, it may take several minutes for time
synchronization before the time is correctly adjusted.
