Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my CCTV camera showing the wrong time?

Cameras drift without a time source. Point them at an NTP server and set the correct IST offset of UTC +5:30 so the timestamp stays accurate.

What NTP server should I use for CCTV in India?

Public pools such as in.pool.ntp.org or time.google.com work well; the recorder and all cameras should sync to the same server to keep timestamps aligned.

What is an epoch timestamp in CCTV logs?

Epoch time is the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC. Converting it to a readable IST date helps you match log entries to real events.
