TIMENET Pro is a low-cost
solution for accurately
synchronising computer
system clocks
TIMENET Pro offers a universal solution by providing
accurate, reference time signals for any Ethernet network,
especially in closed networks.
Time Synchronisation
Most network installations require a
reference time signal for synchronising
system clocks to ensure they are
always set precisely to the correct time.
It is crucial that all CCTV recordings are
accurately time-stamped, especially for
evidential purposes.
Most Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
products - especially those which are
PC-based - have inaccurate internal
clocks which can drift by many
seconds per week. Considering that
DVR and NVR systems should run
unattended for months or years, the
time settings can end up being in error
by many minutes, or even hours.
Further, multiple recorders and devices
will drift apart time-wise, reducing the
veracity of evidential data.
Compact Solution
Whilst traditional solutions involve
atomic clock radio receivers or GPS
sensors linked to an expensive rackmounted master clock server, TIMENET
Pro integrates the GPS receiver and
NTP clock server into a compact device
for direct connection to the network.
TIMENET Pro can be wall-mounted,
uses very little power and is less than
half the cost of competing solutions.
TIMENET Pro can be powered over
the network by POE, or locally by a low
voltage power supply.
Browser Interface
TIMENET Pro provides a clean and
simple browser interface for setting
up the IP address and configuration
password. The status tab displays
information such as system up-time,
GPS lock, UTC and local time, plus an
extremely useful satellite signal meter.
This meter shows satellites in view, and
their signal strength.
Installer Friendly
Simply connect the antenna to the
TIMENET Pro and the TIMENET Pro to
your POE network switch. Configure
the IP address via the easy-to-use
browser interface and the TIMENET
Pro installation is complete. The
antenna that is supplied with the unit
includes a 5 metre long cable. This
can be further extended by adding an
optional 10 metre cable (VTN-EXTEND).
The antenna has a self-adhesive
surface which can be fixed to any
window which has a view of the sky.
The standard antenna is also rated for
external use and so can be externally
Web Interface
A simple browser interface
shows the status of the system,
with separate tabs for settings
and administration.
