iVMS-4200 IVMS-4200 & NVR Time settings.

[Marco Hill]

Evening,

We are viewing numerous Hikvision NVRs on the internet via IVMS-4200.

We have noticed there being a few issues in connection with the time settings.

I have been remotely connection to the NVRs and setting the time using Sync with computer option. This has been working but with one or two NVRs we noticed the box gets unchecked and time is wrong.

What is the best way to sync the times on the NVR? to avoid this problem?

Hi Marco,

I personally set all my cameras and NVRs to use an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server.

You will also need to set the DST (Daylight Saving Time) setting to automatically advance the time in British Summer Time (BST).

Hope that helps.

@ChrisCCTV thanks a lot brother.

I have made the changes but it shows that it's one hour behind.

I am in South Africa so DST would not be set based on there being no Daylight savings here.

I have set it manually for now and hoping it stays the way I set it.

This is your best choice.

Hi Marco,

Ah yes sorry, I assumed you were in the UK. In that case it should just be a case of setting the Time Zone field to your location and then disabling DST. If you find it's +/- 1 hour you can adjust the Time Zone setting to get this correct. At least that way it will continue to sync automatically going forward.
