cornacum 0 Posted October 4, 2020 Hello all At my work we have 2x NVR5864-4KS2 NVR's running total of just over 70 dahua bullet cameras. Our problem is that we cannot set NVR and IP camera clock to GMT. Camera's tend to have different time settings then NVR, and when we update the time, it still does not sync. This is really creating issues when we have to investigate workplace incidents and each camera showing different time. Any advice how to solve this? Many Thanks !

Andrey Ukraine CCTV 1 Posted October 4, 2020 What we have firewire on you NVR? Set you NTP 0.ca.pool.ntp.org https://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/ca Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted October 4, 2020 Hi. You need to switch off the time on each camera and just use the nvr time display go into camera edit in menu and switch of OSD for all cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please see screenshots. On the below screenshot, by clicking on "Setting" nothing will appear, like it is dead button. Screenshot from camera web interface.

Andrey Ukraine CCTV 1 Posted October 5, 2020 You have NVR normal time? Do you cameras sync time with NVR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NVR time also tends to change by 1hr by iteself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Click disable top right. the camera time and date is not needed if connected to a nvr ...... nvr time and date is all that’s required .....when you are searching for footage it is searching nvr time and date not the cameras camera time is only needed if using some vms software your image you posted shows year/ month/ day ...... your gmt so change to day/ month/year also you have time zone set to utp Dublin Edinburgh Lisbon.London move it down till you get to gmt Dublin Edinburgh Lisbon London and also tick DST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even NVR time decides to go one hour back even thou I set it at GMT. On camera interface, UTC is the only available option. It is just annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your nvr was not ment for uk market Utc is not a time zone and will not set summer time. so you need to set the time on nvr to 1 hour ahead and it will become right and on the 25th October you will need to set it to right time ........ if it had gmt it would do it automatically Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Set NVR to GMT+1 and ALSO disable NTP on NVR or keep it enabled? And I guess, now also disable DST? And yes, I think you are right about this nvr not being intended for UK market... Thank you Tom!
