Set NTP

You can set the NTP server for synchronizing the time between the resources (devices managed in the platform, recording servers, sites, SYS, etc.) and the NTP server.

Note:

For devices added via ONVIF, time synchronization will fail. Please configure the time on the device locally and make sure the device's NTP settings are the same as the platform's.

  1. In the top left corner of Home page, select > Basic Management > System.
  2. Select Network > NTP on the left.
  3. Switch on Time Synchronization to enable the NTP function.
  4. Set the NTP server address and NTP port.
    Note:

    If the local NTP service has been configured, you can click Detect Local NTP to fill in the NTP server address and NTP port automatically.

  5. Enter the interval for the automatic time synchronization.
  6. Optional: Click Test to test the communication between the resources and the NTP server.
  7. Optional: Switch on Configure WAN Mapping and enter the IP address and port No. for WAN mapping.
    Note:

    If the NTP service is locally deployed, you can configure WAN mapping to synchronize the time for devices on the WAN. Otherwise, enabling mapping is not required.

  8. Click Save.
