Changing time settings

All recorded video is time stamped for authentication. A 

linear timescale, with no gaps or overlaps, is used for 

searching and archiving. If you change the time, there is a 

mismatch between the time stamp and the linear timescale. 

This offset is displayed during playback on the right of the 

time stamp.

To prevent mismatches, we recommend that you archive 

any important video and reformat the hard disk when you 

change the time.
