NTP Sync Fails - some cameras only

Hello,

I have a variety of Dahua (Empire Tech) cameras to include the 2MP Starlight, 4MP (5442 series), 5831 8MP, and 4231 2MP boobies. All of them sync with my Synology NAS for NTP except one of the 5442s and both boobie cams.

Both 5442s are running the same 12-03-2020 software build dates however only one syncs.

Has anyone else run into this issue? I have identical server/firewall settings for all cameras. I'm absolutely baffled by this... I end up having to go in once a month or so and clicking the "Sync PC" button to match up times on the cameras that do not auto sync via the NTP option.

I appreciate any help!

I had a camera do that recently. I factory reset it and re-set it up from scratch (didn't import settings) and it has been fine since.

I am guessing firmware got wonky with a reboot, power blip, or something.
