Setting Up Automatic Time Synchronization

You can configure the DX8100 to be automatically synchronized to an NTP time server. You can also set the synchronization interval from zero to 23 hours and 59 minutes. In this case, you have to enable the NTP service and synchronize time in intervals options.

To automatically synchronize the DX8100 to an external time server:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click Setup. The Setup dialog opens to the Camera page.

2.In the Setup dialog box, click Network. The Network page is displayed.

3.Click the NTP tab. The NTP page is displayed.

4.In the NTP Server drop-down box, select an NTP server. For information about adding an NTP time server, refer to Adding an NTP Time Server on page 173.

5.Do the following:

a.To synchronize the DX8100 upon startup, click the Auto-start/Synchronize When System Starts check box.

b.Click the Synchronize Time in Intervals [H:M] check box.

c.In the Synchronize Time in Intervals [H:M] spin box, set the interval in hours and minutes.

d.Click the Enable NTP Service check box.

6.Click Apply.

Enabling Database Overwrite

In the event that the DX8100 time is reset to a period earlier than the current time, the DX8100 allows you to do one of the following:

Database Overwrite: Enabling this option causes the DX8100 to overwrite previously recorded data, coincide with the time at which the clock is turned back. For example, if at 2:00 p.m. (current time) you set back the DX8100 clock to 1:30 p.m. (an earlier time), the previously recorded data beginning at 1:30 p.m. is overwritten.

Select not to enable Database Overwrite: If this option is not enabled, previously recorded data is not overwritten. For example, if at 2:00 p.m. (current time) you set back the DX8100 clock to 1:30 p.m. (an earlier time), the DX8100 does not record data between 1:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. In this case, any video events occurring during that half-hour time period are not recorded. Recording does not begin again until after the DX8100 clock exceeds 2:00 p.m.

To enable Database Overwrite:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click Setup. The Setup dialog opens to the Camera page.

2.In the Setup dialog box, click Network. The Network page is displayed.

3.Click the NTP tab. The NTP page is displayed.

4.Click the Database Overwrite check box to select the option.
