CONFIGURING DAYLIGHT SAVING

The DVR has the following conditions when the DST feature is used:

Daylight Saving OFF: By default, the Daylight Saving feature is set to OFF. In this case, there is no change in the system time stamp for recorded data throughout the year. The effective date is set using the Date, Time, Date Format, and Time Zone options.

Daylight Saving OFF, but later is set to ON: For example, the DVR is installed in a location where DST is already in observance and the DVR’s time is set to the local time. Sometime in the future, the Daylight Savings option is set to ON. In this case, there is no change in the system time stamp for recorded data. When the Daylight Saving End date and time occur, the unit’s time adjusts backward one hour.
