Defining the system time
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of
network devices, such as IP cameras and computers. Connecting network
devices to a dedicated NTP time server ensures that they are all synchronized.
To define the system time and date:
1. In the System folder, click the Time Settings subfolder to open its window.
