Configuring an NTP server

A Network Time Protocol (NTP) server can also be configured on your DVR to
keep the date and time current and accurate.

Note: If the device is connected to a public network, you should use a NTP
server that has a time synchronization function, such as the server at the
National Time Center (IP Address: 210.72.145.44) or europe.ntp.pool.org. If the
device is setup in a more customized network, NTP software can be used to
establish a NTP server used for time synchronization

To set up an NTP server:

1. Click the

Network settings

icon in the menu toolbar.

2. Click

NTP

to display its screen.

3. Check the NTP box to enable feature. It is enabled by default.

4. Enter the NTP settings:

• Interval: Time in minutes to synchronize with the NTP server. The value

can be between 1 and 10080 minutes. Default is 60 minutes.

• NTP server: IP address of the NTP server.
NTP port: Port of the NTP server.

5. Click

Apply

to save the settings.
