FAQs: Date & Time of Codec

Why should I configure Date & Time?

Setting the date and time on the codec is crucial for leveraging its recording capabilities effectively. The accuracy of the date and time is essential for various functionalities, particularly when searching for video clips in the "View Record" section of the codec's interface. The codec organizes and timestamps video recordings based on the date and time information, making it vital to have this data correctly configured.

By ensuring that the codec's date and time settings are accurate, users can more efficiently locate specific video clips and navigate the recording interface with ease. This is particularly important for tasks such as reviewing and retrieving specific recordings, as well as maintaining an organized record of video footage.

In summary, setting the date and time on the codec is fundamental for maximizing the usability of its recording features, ensuring seamless navigation, and facilitating efficient retrieval of video recordings.

How to correctly setup the time?

To ensure accurate operation and synchronization of your encoder/codec, follow these steps to set up the date and time correctly:
  1. Select the Time Zone: From the settings menu, select your time zone from the dropdown list;
  2. Set Sync Mode: Change the Sync Mode to Manual;
  3. Enable Sync with PC: Check the Sync with PC checkbox to synchronize the device's time with your computer;
  4. Save Your Settings: Click the Save button to apply all of your changes;
  5. Restore Factory Settings: If necessary, restore the unit to default factory settings for a clean configuration;
  6. Verify NTP Functionality: Ensure NTP (Network Time Protocol) is functioning by selecting the time zone again, clicking Save, and then refreshing the page to verify that the time displayed is correct;
By following these steps, your device will be configured with the correct date and time, ensuring optimal performance.

Do all codecs have the built-in batteries used for recording date & time?

Not all codecs are equipped with built-in batteries specifically used for recording date and time. The presence of built-in batteries in codecs may vary depending on the model and design specifications.

In general, codecs used for CCTV Surveillance or POE NVR may not require built-in batteries as they are typically connected to a continuous power source. On the other hand, codecs used for live broadcasting may be equipped with built-in batteries to ensure uninterrupted operation, which is important for maintaining accurate date and time information.

Additionally, for mini codec boards or smaller form factor codecs, it's possible that built-in batteries for date and time recording may not be included as a standard feature. In such cases, if recording the date and time is a requirement, the user may need to purchase additional battery solutions separately.

Ultimately, it's essential to review the technical specifications and features of a specific codec model to determine whether it includes built-in batteries for recording date and time or if additional provisions need to be made.
