I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I that wasn't keeping time.
It could be anywhere from 10 minutes to a couple of hours off.
Using Hikvision's configuration Time Settings tab, I tried both
NTP and Manual Time Sync.
The Blue Iris OSD would reset, but it would eventually go
wacko again.
At the time I was just using BI's OSD.
I then tried displaying both Hikvision's OSD and BI's OSD on
my display at the same time.
The Hikvision time was always correct and BI would change.
Ok, no problem, I'd just use Hikvision.
But apparently, and this is where I get confused, BI is getting
its time somewhere else?
For example I'm recording Cam4. The OSD shows the correct time,
but the clips window shows a totally different time.
It's even more confusing when I playback.
The window's title bar shows the time it started and its length,
which is correct...the OSD from Hikvision is correct..but the
black box in the lower right shows the totally off time.
The firmware version is V5.3.0 build 150513.
The strange part is, the Foscams that I do have, never a time problem.
If you need any more info, just let me know. I tried attaching images, but its not working...Doug
