Sorry, not really ISY related.

 

Does anyone know how to get and use an "NTP" time server for a webcam. My Pansonics have the option to have their time updated by NTP, but I can't find any info on it.

 

Thanks,

It is pretty simple. If your ISP doesn't have its own NTP server that you can use, pick a public or private StratumTwo TimeServer that is close to you in network latency from this list: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers ... imeServers and enter it into the NTP server address box in the camera.

 

I use the NTP server maintained by my state university system and have entered the IP in the address box so the time updates can be made without relying on DNS intervention. I use the same server for several cameras.

I have some of the Panasonic cams myself and use the time server function. In the box for the NTP time server just enter: time.nist.gov

That's it. Now you won't have to worry about losing or gaining more than a second for the next 60,000 years.
