System parameters
Change host name
The “host name” is used for the homepage title of main page and displays as the title
over the video window on the main page. The maximum string length is 40 characters or
20 characters in double-byte-character-systems like Chinese or Japanese.
Adjust date and time
There are three ways to adjust system date and time. The easiest is to make Network
Camera "Sync with computer time". The second “Manual” is to set the date and time
manually by entering new values. Notice the format in the related field while typing. The
third “Automatic” is to make Network Camera automatically synchronize with
timeservers over the Internet every month. It may fail if the assigned NTP server
cannot be reached or Network Camera is within a local network. Leaving the NTP server
blank will let Network Camera connect to default timeservers. Domain name or IP
address format is acceptable as long as DNS server is available. Do not forget setting the
"Time zone" offset for local settings. Refer to the Appendix G for the time zone of your
region. It only affects the hour in NTP method.
“Automatically restore DO state after seconds” allows you to restore DO state after
events trigger DO.
Once the settings are changed, click on
to validate changes.
