Description

This guide will show how to adjust NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings on a Dahua device.

The NTP function allows a device that is connected to the Internet to sync time with a NTP server

By default most Dahua devices will use the following default NTP server information:

  • Server - time.windows.com
  • Port - 123
  • Interval - sets how often to sync time with NTP server

Warning!

If you have video that needs to be backed up, please be sure to backup your recorded video before modifying the Date & Time on your recorder or cameras. It is strongly recommended that you format the hard drive after modifying the date and time to ensure accurate playback and recording.

Prerequisites
