pelco camera time resetting on reboot

[kcjonez 0]

Having a strange problem with a Pelco Camera on Avigilon.

 

When you reboot certain cameras, the camera time resets to the default time zone and starts recording on Avigilon at that time (5 hours ahead). It catches up pretty quick, but Avigilon won't record that camera again until the time catches up 5 hours later.

 

I check the camera settings and the time is set correctly (we are running a time server and everything meshes). It's only certain cameras on different switches. No clue what is going on! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I believe most cameras have a lithium type battery to keep the time during power resets (at least all the IP cameras I've owned). However I wouldn't imagine a system reset/reboot that maintains continues power causing any problems, but you never know. Maybe you could try replacing the battery on an affected unit to see what happens?
