Nx Witness User Manual

By default, all Servers in System have the time synchronized (see "Time Synchronization in a Multi-Server Environment"). This ensures the smooth archive recording, indexing and fetching.

By default, Server ignores the time on cameras. However, in some cases it may be necessary, especially for Edge cameras that record archive to the internal storage. In this case it is critical to have the camera time synchronized with Server.

To push time from Server to a camera:

1.Open the Camera Settings > Expert tab.

2.Unheck Time Settings > Keep Camera Time Settings.

3.Apply changes.

Additionally, it is possible to force the Server to use timestamps from cameras (may be also useful for Edge cameras). See "Tuning up Camera Streaming" for details.
