How to configure cameras to use AvertX NTP server

To configure a camera to use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, you'll need to log into the camera's administrative user interface (UI).

Note: For third-party cameras, the configuration process is going to depend on the respective manufacturer's instructions.  

Manual Sync, or Synchronizing with System Time:
  1. Login into the camera via a browser or by using Camera Link.
  2. Navigate to where Time settings are managed (these settings are usually under System, or sometimes General).
  3. Manually set the correct Time Zone and System Time; you may also select “Sync with Computer Time” to synchronize the camera's time with the NVR’s time automatically.
  4. Save changes.
  5. Camera may need a reboot for full synchronization to take effect.
Synchronizing with an NTP Server:
  1. Login into the camera via a browser or by using Camera Link.
  2. Navigate to where Time settings are managed, this would be under Basic Settings>Time
  3. Manually set the correct Time Zone and System Time (if a device’s time is too far off from the NTP Server’s time, it may have trouble synchronizing).
  4. Set Sync Mode to “Sync with NTP server”
  5. Set the NTP Server Address, Port, and Update Intervals (default NTP server for Avertx cameras is 2.cctv.pool.ntp.org; default port for NTP clients is 1023)
  6. Save changes
  7. Camera may need a reboot for full synchronization to take effect.
