Date & Time

Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock format in the Overlay Images (see below).

New Server Time - Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to automatically adjust for daylight savings time, select the Automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes.

From the Time Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:

Synchronize with computer time - sets the time from the clock on your computer.

Synchronize with NTP Server - the camera will obtain the time from an NTP server every 60 minutes. The NTP server's IP address or host name must be specified in the TCP/IP Advanced Settings - see page 41.

Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.

Note: 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.

Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in the Live View video streams.

Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See Advanced File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the help files for information on how to create your own file formats.

IP Address Configuration

The camera’s IP address 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.

Notes: DHCP is a protocol for automatic IP address assignment on a network. IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to the situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact. Configure the options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the video server when the IP address changes.

•Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 210/210A/211/211A by host name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
