Honeywell K14392V1 manual Adjusting the Time on an Operational Unit, Correcting the Clock

Unit Configuration: Basics

Adjusting the Time on an Operational Unit

If a unit's clock is set incorrectly (more than +/– a few seconds), Honeywell recommends setting a unit to the correct time (and date) as soon as possible.

Human error or unauthorized use

Leaving the clock set to an incorrect time (more than +/– a few seconds) for a long length of time (an hour or more) on an operational unit, can create problems for operators who need to retrieve video when the clock is set correctly.

During the 'span of incorrect time', video is not erased and continues to be recorded; however, two instances of video can be created at the same timestamps. Using the Seek or Jump controls shows the video of the first instance only. The second instance of video can only be played through or fast-forwarded.

Correcting the Clock

Whole hours: time reference

Check the "Time Reference" setting. If the clock of a unit in another time zone shows a time that is off by whole hours, the clock could be set to the correct time, but using an optional display (GMT, operator's time zone, unit's time zone). See the Rapid Eye View Software Operator Guide: Selecting a Time Reference.

Whole hours: time zone

Check the "Time Zone" setting. If the clock of a unit in another time zone shows a time that is off by whole hours, the clock could be set to the correct time, but set to an incorrect time zone. See Unit’s Time Zone and Clock, p. 56.

Setting the clock to the correct time

A short span of incorrect time. If a unit's clock shows the wrong time (more than +/– a few seconds), for a short while (a few seconds, a few minutes, up to an hour, or so):

•Set the clock correctly; either automatically or manually.

A follow-up may be needed: clearing storage

A long span of incorrect time. If the clock remains set to an incorrect time (more than +/– a few seconds) for a considerable length of time (many hours, days or weeks) it can become inconvenient and confusing for an operator who needs to play through that recorded video. For such an error:

•Set the clock correctly; either automatically or manually.

•Consider Clearing Storage. See p. 129.
