Blue Iris vs Hikvision NVR - Date Time

[heffneil]

Hey guys I was wondering - and I don't know because I am new - if my Hikvisison or all my cameras can get the date and time from blue iris vs me having to manually set it? My hikvision NVR will set the time and manage all that jazz.

I assume blue iris can do this?

Thanks!
Neil

Most cameras allow you to specify a manual NTP server to set the time. I use the free software “net time” running on my BI PC for this and point my cameras to the PC as the NTP server.

i see. I went through my cameras and set the NTP settings along with the time zone and DST settings - not really fun.
