Setup Wizard : System Time

NTP stands for “Network Time

Protocol”. It is a way for the

NVR to connect to the Internet

and automatically update and

maintain the accurate time.

There is no requirement to use

NTP. It is easy to setup and

free to use.

Synchronize Every: The interval when the time will SYNC from NTP server.

NTP Server: The server you would like to use for NTP. They are all quite comparable in terms of

reliability and accuracy. The default NTP server is recommended to use. (pool. ntp.org)

NTP Port: The default port is 123. You should only change this if you are using a different NTP server,

and you know they use a different port. If you’re using pool.ntp.org, ensure that the port is 123.

Sync: Triggers the NVR to automatically synchronize its internal clock with the time server immediately. If

your NVR is connected to the Internet and the network is correctly configured, this will update at an

instant.

System Time: The NVR’s current date and time.

Setup Wizard : DST Configuration

If your time zone

observes daylight saving

time and you want your

NVR’s clock to be

updated automatically

when daylight saving

time starts and ends,

make sure the Enable

checkbox is selected.

Offset: The amount by which the time changes during DST. For the vast majority of locations, the offset

is one hour, but exceptions to this rule exist.

Start Time / End Time: When DST begins and ends in your locale.

Note: Make sure your time offset is set correctly or both your NVRs normal time and DST time may be out.

Finishing the Setup Wizard

When you click Finish, the NVR will update and save your settings. It may reboot while doing so.
