Ok thanks. I did that. how do I know it is working. Seems to be 1 second off now. A bit better. On the 'network time sync' software it seems to be 2 seconds ahead.The server is the computer that NetTime is running on, not the NetTime server. Eg if your BI computer (running NetTime) IP is 192.168.1.5, point the camera at that, not 0.nettime.pool.ntp.org
Are you running the nettime synch tool? If so, your cameras should be pointed to whatever PC you have running that time server software. That screenshot looks like it is from a camera that is pointing to the Internet for time.Yes thanks for the help.
For windows firewall - I choose TCP / Port 123 and allow all connections?
Thank you everyone that helped and your advice. Very helpful here.Another thing you can do is check each camera against Time.is - exact time, any time zone
My cams are all within 1-2 seconds of each other. Not sure you can do any better than that. I am using the net time synch app and I have it synch every 12 hours. It's always going to be a bit off. Clocks drift. As you can see in the pic, even the PC is off. It's not much but it always drifts.

No. You need to point them to the non-internet NIC IP, the one connected to the POE switch.I also have 2 nic cards. it is the NIC card that is connected to the internet that would be used?
Thank you - I just saw this. I did this and still no update. All of the cams are off.No. You need to point them to the non-internet NIC IP, the one connected to the POE switch.
There has not been anything like that. Why would it not be doing this?I don't see any entries in your logfile that indicate it is responding to any NTP requests. Do you have any lines in that log file that say what I posted earlier - "9/1/2019 7:41:13 AM Sent NTP Response to: <insert-IP-address-here>"??
yes just like screenshot shows above - each camera has same setting. I am using the NIC card that is plugged into the switch cams are on not connected to internet.You have logged into each individual camera’s web interface and then configured each camera to do a NTP query of the ip address of the computer which is running the NetTime application...correct?
How do i check not an inaccessible NTP port issue?Try turning off your firewall to make certain it’s not an inaccessible NTP port issue.
