If you are working with archives that were recorded during a time change, and you
want to remove the associated impacts from the video timeline, you can set the time zone to
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in Security
Desk before performing your
task.
What you should know
Security
Desk and Config
Tool display time relative to the
selected time zone. However, the server uses UTC, and the client application converts
the server's UTC timestamps to the selected time zone. You can set client applications
to use UTC to skip the time conversion and avoid the impacts when there is a time
change.NOTE: Time and date settings apply only to the client application you
configure. Each application must be configured separately.
To change the time zone to UTC:
-
From the home page, click .
-
If required, select Display time zone abbreviations to show the
selected time zone next to the time in the notification tray.
-
Select Display time based on
the following time zone, and then select
(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time.
-
Click Save.
The client application now displays current time and archive timestamps relative to
the UTC time zone.
