To change the time settings in Hikvision iVMS-4200:

1. Use NTP Server: Set all cameras and NVRs to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server for automatic time synchronization.
2. Enable DST (If Applicable): If in the UK, enable Daylight Saving Time (DST) to automatically adjust for British Summer Time (BST).
3. Set Time Zone: Choose the correct time zone for your location. If the time is incorrect by +/- 1 hour, adjust the time zone setting accordingly.
4. Batch Time Sync: Use the built-in batch time sync tool in iVMS-4200 to update multiple devices simultaneously. Go to the Tools menu, select Batch Time Sync, choose the devices, and confirm the synchronization.

These steps ensure accurate time settings on Hikvision NVRs and cameras using iVMS-4200.
