The date and time can be manually set, adopted from the computer, or continuously synchronized through a time server. If you use a time server, the clock can be synchronized using a time server over the Internet, a time server service in the local network or another MOBOTIX camera. In this case, the camera's time server must first be set in the camera web UI Admin menu (Admin Menu > Camera Administration > Time & Date > Use Camera as Time Server).
Two protocols are available for synchronizing the camera using a time server: NTP and Time Protocol.
