Question

Where can you configure NTP server for cameras/encoders in BVMS≥11?

Answer

By default all cameras/encoders added to BVMS will be configured to start NTP synchronization against the Operating System of the Management server.

Whenever a central NTP Server is available the recommendation is to synchronize all cameras against the NTP central server.

In BVMS≥11 there is a new configuration option:

• Open Configuration Client and go to Settings > Options

⭐ BVMS ≥v11.0 & < v11.1.1:

⭐ BVMS ≥v11.1.1:

• Add the IP Address/ hostname or URL of the NTP server to the "Time server for encoder" field:

⭐ BVMS ≥v11.0 & < v11.1.1:

⭐ BVMS ≥v11.1.1:

Note:

This configuration option does not replace the time settings configuration on the workstations and servers on operating system level! This configuration needs to be performed.
