Our video server/IP camera adds the time code into the streaming, thus our recording have the exact event time embedded. With NTP function, you can ensure all your video server/IP camera send streaming following the same time base and it would be very useful for future event analysis. You can find in this manual tell you
A. How to setup your video server/IP camera NTP
B. How to set up a simple NTP server
C. Self diagnostic
