I've got 4 IP cameras, they are all showing slightly different times.

I have tried connecting the NVR and going to system settings, I've changed the time and clicked apply, when I go back into system settings it's still showing the correct time but the time in the corner of the cameras hasn't changed?

DS-7604NI-K1-4P(B)​

 
I've changed the system time here, its now accurate and staying accurate but the time on the 4 cameras hasn't changed.

A few things you should do/check on the NVR:

  1. Make sure timezone is correct
  2. Setup Daylight savings time - last Sunday in March 01:00 (it's set at 2:00 incorrectly by default to avoid a lost hour of recording), last Sunday in October 02:00, 60 minutes
  3. In the Network Settings set up NTP. All you need to is enter a time server address and enable it - the other settings can be left as they are. I use uk.pool.ntp.org
You need do nothing individually in the cameras - they will get their time from the NVR
 
So I just click enable and that will update the time on all cameras?

Check the other things first (time zone and daylight savings) If the time zone was incorrect once you set to GMT London Dublin you’ll need to correct the time. Then for the NTP, yes, enable and apply. You can leave the server as the one Hikvision have entered or change it up.pool.ntp.org

The NTP just periodically checks the MVR time against the server and synchronises it if it drifts. The NVR should then keep all of the cameras synchronised to it’s time, if the cameras are connected to the PoE ports of the NVR and they were connected using plug and play.
 
Not sure what to try next
