The following can be set here.

• Current Date and Time

The date and time set in the camera is shown.

• Setting

Select the date and time setting method, time zone and daylight saving time for the camera.

[Date], [Time]

The date and time currently set in the camera are shown.

(1) [Setting Method]

Select from [Set manually], [Synchronize with NTP server], [Synchronize with NTP broadcast], [Synchronize with computer time].

(2) [Date], [Time]

When [Setting Method] is set to [Set manually], you can set the date and time manually. The date is entered in year/month/day format, and the time in hour:minute:second 24-hour format.

(3) [Auto-Setting of NTP Server]

When [Setting Method] is set to [Synchronize with NTP server], select a DHCP option for the automatic setting method of the NTP server.

[Disable]

Select when specifying an arbitrary NTP server.

Enter the IP address or host name of the NTP server used in [NTP Server].

[Use DHCP]

The camera time is synchronized with the time of the NTP server at the address acquired from the DHCP server. In order to set [Use DHCP], you must change [Network] > [IPv4 Address Setting Method] to [Auto (DHCP)]

The NTP server address acquired from the DHCP server will appear in [NTP Server (DHCP)].

[Use DHCPv6]

The camera time is synchronized with the time of the NTP server at the address acquired from the DHCPv6 server. In order to set [Use DHCPv6], you must change [Network] > [IPv6] to [Enable], then set [Auto (DHCPv6)] to [Enable]

The NTP server address acquired from the DHCPv6 server will appear in [NTP Server (DHCPv6)].

[Use DHCP/DHCPv6]

The camera time is synchronized with the time of the NTP server at the address acquired from the DHCP server or DHCPv6 server. Note that only one NTP server name (address) is used. Even if NTP server names (addresses) can be acquired from the DHCP server and DHCPv6 server, only the address acquired from the DHCP server will be displayed in [NTP Server (DHCP)].

[Synchronize with NTP broadcast]

The camera will synchronize with the NTP server time. The camera will synchronize time with NTP broadcasts received from the NTP server.

[Synchronize with computer time]

The camera will synchronize with the date and time of the computer currently accessing the camera.

The [Time Zone] is not selected automatically, and must be set separately as required.

(4) [Time Zone]

Select from the list the appropriate time difference from the Greenwich Mean Time.

(5) [Daylight Saving Time]

Select [Enable] to automatically adjust the daylight saving time according to the time zone or [Disable] not to automatically adjust the daylight saving time.

Note

• If [Synchronize with computer time] is selected, after clicking [Apply], [Setting Method] will change to [Set manually].

• If [Synchronize with NTP server] is selected and the IP address of the NTP server is incorrect or a connection with the NTP server cannot otherwise be established, the date and time will not be changed.

• The NTP server query interval is 300 seconds.

• The camera's NTP broadcast mode does not support IPv6.

• If the [Time Zone] setting is changed, the date and time display will update automatically according to the specified time zone.
