D-Link DCS-900 manual Tools Time, DateTime, IP Address

DCS-900 Configuration (continued)

Tools > Time

The Time menu sets the DCS-900’s time and date requirements to provide correct information to users who are accessing from a remote site. The two options in the Time settings are Synchronized with Time Server or Set Manually.

Click on Time in the left hand panel and this screen will appear as illustrated below:

DateTime:

Select Synchronized with Time Server and the time will be based on the GMT setting. This is the default setting for the DCS-900. Using a time server with your camera is recommended for time/date accuracy for your recorded video images and is critical for surveillance applications. Public time servers are available on the web. You must choose the appropriate time server matching your region of operation.

The NTP server web addresses listed below will set the time server. http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1a.htm http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.htm

IP Address:

Enter the IP Address of the Time Server in this field. The IP address will be listed with the time server information on the web.
