Step 2 Configure the time synchronization by NTP server or manually.
Configuring Time Synchronization by NTP Server
A Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server can be configured on your device to ensure the accuracy of system date/time.
If the device 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.
Enable the NTP function by selecting the radio button, and configure the following settings:
NTP Server: IP address of NTP server.
NTP Port: Port of NTP server.
Figure 4-6 Configure Time by NTP
If the device is connected to a public network, you should use a NTP server that has a time synchronization function, such as the server at the National Time Center (IP Address: 210.72.145.44). If the device is set up in a more customized network, NTP software can be used to establish a NTP server used for time synchronization.
