You can set the sender camera time on up to 10 receiver cameras. Note that even after synchronization, a slight margin of error applies between sender and receiver camera time (of ±0.05 seconds, at most).
Caution
- Always use cameras of the same model to sync the time. Synchronizing the time on receiver cameras is not possible with different models of the sender and receiver cameras.
- This feature will not be available after 2038.
Preparing for Time Syncing
When using a single receiver camera, connect a LAN cable to the Ethernet RJ-45 terminal of the sender and receiver cameras.
When using multiple receiver cameras, connect a LAN cable from the Ethernet terminal of the sender and receiver cameras to a hub. Up to 10 receiver cameras can be connected.
Use a highly shielded Category 5e or higher STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) Gigabit Ethernet cable.
