Change the date and time

When the recorder is connected to the internet, the date and time are set automatically. However, if the recorder isn't connected, you can manually set the correct time. You can also change the time zone or adjust how the date and time are displayed to your preferences.

  2. In the bottom-left corner, click the menu icon  .
  3. Click Settings and unlock the recorder if prompted. 
  4. Go to System > General > Date and Time.
  5. To manually set the date and time:
    • First, disable NTP (Network Time Protocol) to prevent the system from automatically overwriting your changes.
    • Then, set the desired date and time.
  6. You can adjust all other settings, such as time zone and display format, without disabling NTP.
  7. At the bottom right of your screen, click Apply to save your changes.
