Adjusting the Time on an Operational Unit

Correcting the Clock

Caution If a unit's clock is set incorrectly (more than +/- a few seconds), Honeywell
recommends setting a unit to the correct time (and date) as soon as
possible.
Human Error or Unauthorized Use
Leaving the clock set to an incorrect time (more than +/- a few seconds) for a long length
of time (an hour or more) on an operational unit, can create problems for operators who
need to retrieve video when the clock is set correctly.
During the span of incorrect time, video is not erased and continues to be recorded;
however, two instances of video can be created at the same timestamps. Using the Seek
or Jump controls shows the video of the first instance only. The second instance of video
can only be played through or fast-forwarded.
Whole Hours: Time Reference
Check the Time Reference setting. If the clock of a unit in another time zone shows a time
that is off by whole hours, the clock could be set to the correct time, but is using an optional
display (GMT, operator's time zone, unit's time zone). Refer to the Selecting a Time
Reference in
Rapid Eye™ Multi-Media Digital Video Recorder Remote View Operator
Whole Hours: Time Zone
Check the Time Zone setting. If the clock of a unit in another time zone shows a time that
is off by whole hours, the clock could be set to the correct time, but is set to an incorrect
time zone. See
Unit Time Zone and Clock
Setting the Clock to the Correct Time
A short span of incorrect time. If a unit's clock shows the wrong time (more than +/- a few
seconds) for a short time period (a few seconds, a few minutes, up to an hour), you need
to reset the clock correctly; either automatically or manually.
A Follow-Up May Be Needed: Clearing Storage
If the clock remains set to an incorrect time (more than +/- a few seconds) for a
considerable length of time (many hours, days or weeks) it can become inconvenient and
confusing for an operator who needs to play through that recorded video. For such an error:
• Set the clock correctly; either automatically or manually.
• Consider Storage, page 139.
