Date/Time

The Date/Time page allows you to view/change the current date and time as well as the time zone used by your Video Server.

The date, time and time zone configured on your Vide Server is used by various features such as:

  • Video Recordings
  • Log files generated on the system

Therefore it is important to set the correct system time and date. If your system is connected to the Internet, Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to keep the system time accurate. In that case, you have to configure just the correct time zone. If your system is not connected to the Internet, you should make sure that you set the date, time and time zone correctly.

To set the date, time and time zone, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Web-based Configuration Utility
  2. From the System tab, select Preferences
  3. From the left side column, select Date/Time
  4. Selet the box beside the New Date label and a drop-down box appears to set the current date.
  5. Use the drop-down list boxes beside the New Time label to set the current time.
  6. Use the drop-down list box beside the New Time Zone label to set your time zone.
  7. Press the Apply Changes button
