Unit Configuration: Basics
60
Adjusting the Time on an Operational Unit
If a unit's clock is set incorrectly (more than +/– a few seconds), Honeywell recommends
setting a unit to the correct time (and date) as soon as possible.
Human error or unauthorized use
Leaving the clock set to an incorrect time (more than +/– a few seconds) for a long length of time
(an hour or more) on an operational unit, can create problems for operators who need to retrieve
video when the clock is set correctly.
During the 'span of incorrect time', video is not erased and continues to be recorded; however, two
instances of video can be created at the same timestamps. Using the Seek or Jump controls
shows the video of the first instance only. The second instance of video can only be played
through or fast-forwarded.
Correcting the Clock
Whole hours: time reference
Check the "Time Reference" setting. If the clock of a unit in another time zone shows a time that is
off by whole hours, the clock could be set to the correct time, but using an optional display (GMT,
operator's time zone, unit's time zone). See the
Rapid Eye View Software Operator Guide: Selecting
a Time Reference.
Whole hours: time zone
Check the "Time Zone" setting. If the clock of a unit in another time zone shows a time that is off by
whole hours, the clock could be set to the correct time, but set to an incorrect time zone. See
Unit’s Time Zone and Clock, p. 56.
Setting the clock to the correct time
A short span of incorrect time. If a unit's clock shows the wrong time (more than +/– a few
seconds), for a short while (a few seconds, a few minutes, up to an hour, or so):
• Set the clock correctly; either automatically or manually.
A follow-up may be needed: clearing storage
A long span of incorrect time. If the clock remains set to an incorrect time (more than +/– a few
seconds) for a considerable length of time (many hours, days or weeks) it can become
inconvenient and confusing for an operator who needs to play through that recorded video. For
such an error:
• Set the clock correctly; either automatically or manually.
• Consider
Clearing Storage. See p. 129.
