•Synchronize with computer time - sets the time from the clock on your computer.
•Synchronize with NTP Server - the PTZ Network Camera will obtain the time from an NTP server every 60 minutes. Specify the NTP server's IP address or host name. Note that if using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings. See Network TCP/IP below.
•Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in the Live View video streams.

Network - TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration - the IP address of the PTZ Network Camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a fixed IP address can be set manually. A host name can be used and there are options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address. DHCP is enabled by default.
Note: Automatic IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to the situation where the IP address is changed and you lose contact. Configure the options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the PTZ Network Camera, when the IP address has been changed.
Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 213 by host name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
