acmaster 0 Posted June 15, 2014 I have two similar Hik cameras getting their time from the Microsoft time server. In order for them to have the same time, I have to set one for DST and one without both set for EST? They are using different firmware. One is using a newer firmware not available on the Hikvision site. It came with the camera. Any explanation for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukasware 0 Posted June 16, 2014 assume 5.1.6 in newest camera? what's the firmware in the older camera? answering a question you didn't ask, due to documented un-reliability of time.windows.com I use time.nist.gov but this is not the problem you are having. I can't use DST in any DS-2CD2x32 because it seems the chinese don't understand DST in fact they have a single timezone for the entire country. I have all cameras on 5.1.6 at one site and EST/no DST and STILL have different times on the cameras. Time settles down after a camera reboot or two...still wrong (setting no DST yields the correct time until november). Also tried setting CST/with DST no luck. Anyone have better luck?
